There has been a lot of talk in the media about BPA. Here is some reassuring news.
Medela Breastmilk Bottles and Breastpump Kits are BPA-free as are all Medela products that come into contact with breast milk.
Medela Bottles are made from Polypropylene, a plastic which does not contain BPA. It is easy to identify bottles made from Polypropylene. It is a soft, semi-cloudy plastic and typically has the Recycle 5 symbol and/or PP on the bottom of the containers.
As the industry leader in breastpumping and breastfeeding, Medela is committed to always doing what is best for mums and babies. Medela products have always been and continue to be BPA-free.

Hug-a-Bub Baby Carriers
I will never forget the day that I saw a lady wearing her baby in a Hug-a-Bub baby carrier. It was like no other carrier I had seen or used. I couldn’t take my eyes off this lady who was carrying her sleeping baby in the Hug-a-Bub. I was intrigued! ( I may have appeared like a stalker). They both looked content and comfortable. The baby was so well supported, unlike a lot of carriers, where the baby seems to hang off the Parent with their little heads wobbling unsupported.
I stopped her to ask about the carrier. She raved about the Hug-a-Bub, telling me she wore it nearly every day. Her three month old baby was able to breastfeed in the sling and she loved using it when he was unsettled as he fell asleep in it straight away. She was also really happy with how comfortable it was for her, even when she wore it for long periods.
I jumped online as soon as I got home and found “Hug-a-Bub”. I rang the company and ordered a sample straight away. Unfortunately my baby was too big to go in the carrier, but gave it to everyone I knew for feedback about the Hug-a-Bub. The positive feedback continued. I fell in love with the Hug-a-Bub!
The Hug-a-Bub is the perfect baby shower gift or new baby gift.
