Materials for Baby Products and Toys

The materials used in baby products and toys directly impact a baby's health and safety, especially when the baby is in the oral stage and likes to chew on objects. Careful selection is crucial. Below is an analysis and recommendations regarding materials for baby products and children's toys:

Common Materials for Baby Products
Baby Bottle Materials

Glass (High Borosilicate): Chemically stable, heat-resistant, and easy to clean, suitable for home use, but relatively heavy and fragile, suitable for parents during the feeding stage.

PPSU: Lightweight and drop-resistant, heat-resistant up to 180℃, can be repeatedly steam-sterilized, suitable for carrying when going out, ideal for babies learning to drink.

PP (Polypropylene): Inexpensive and lightweight, but prone to aging with prolonged high-temperature sterilization; replacement every 3 months is recommended, suitable as a spare bottle.

Silicone: Soft and foldable, suitable for premature infants or babies with weak sucking ability; medical-grade products should be chosen, avoiding those containing fillers.

Stainless steel: Excellent heat retention, suitable for outings, but makes it difficult to monitor milk levels. It's recommended to choose 316 medical-grade stainless steel to avoid heavy metal leaching.

Recommendation: Prepare 2-3 types of bottles to rotate. Use glass for home sterilization and PPSU or silicone for outings.

Baby sterilizer: Prioritize products with an all-stainless steel cavity and glue-free design to avoid the release of harmful volatile organic compounds or microplastic powder from inferior plastics.

Check for issues such as UV leakage, sterilization corners, and mold growth in the cavity to ensure a truly sterile environment.
