Those of you who are at present well-read in all bisphenol A (BPA), who possess baby bottles that contain BPA, and are currently think about a change toward BPA free baby bottles are possibly looking at all the bottles on the market and are surprised at the prices - given that a cut-rate BPA free baby bottle is $16 and a normal baby bottle can be bought for as low as $4.00 I am not surprised.

The truth is that the majority BPA free baby bottles are prepared from either polypropylene of PES plastic and both these plastic are simply more pricey the polycarbonate. The chief cause for this price disparity is that polycarbonate is more abundant, therefore making it more costly.

The next cause, and maybe one not mentioned before, is that PES plastic is still in it's infancy and a little on the boutique side and less frequent. Also, the major brands that have decided to manufacture BPA free baby bottles are still producing polycarbonate baby bottles, if not in the U.S certainly for the rest of the world. To demonstrate this I apply the comparison that when Ford develops a new concept car, the value to build could be millions of dollars, but it's not until it goes to bulk construction that the price comes downward to a figure that the bulk of people can afford. Meaning, one day, BPA free baby bottles will turn out to be cheaper to make.

 This means that, for the time being, BPA free baby bottles will stay a little on the high-priced side. One thing to take into account, nevertheless, is that BPA free baby bottles will last a good deal longer than a polycarbonate baby bottle and it's probable that if you have more than one child that you will be able to pass this bottle on.

 The other issue to think about is this; what cost should you pay for your baby's safety and peace of mind?
