Denmark was the first country in Europe to ban the use of bisphenol, known commonly as BPA, in any container that is designed for use by young children amidst growing proof that the chemical can cause serious health problems and may slow brain development of children.

Although many mainstream baby bottle companies have already started producing BPA-free product lines, a new investigation this week found that high street retailers Mothercare and Boots are still selling older BPA contaminated bottles to the public.

Mothercare plans to continue selling the old line through the beginning of August while Boots plans to phase the BPA bottles out over the next few weeks.

The British Government has discarded the idea of banning BPA and continues to maintain that BPA is not a threat to health.  The stance is in direct opposition to many Western Governments who have issued temporary bans until there is clearer evidence stating otherwise.

France has backed a temporary ban and three US states and Canada have forbidden the use of BPA in baby products.

The FDA in America reversed its stance in January stating that steps should be taken to minimize the amount of exposure citizens have to BPA after years of also stating that the chemical is not a health risk.  The EPA, the second largest health body in the US, also announced that it will investigate the effect of BPA on the environment.

The unique product which is the recipient of many research and innovation awards automatically heats up baby milk to the exact temperature of breast milk simply by touching the on button.

It takes just one minute for the Yoomi to warm the milk to 32-34 Celsius.

The inventors behind the Yoomi, Farah and Jim Shaikh said they got the idea for the product after waiting for milk to warm in the morning hours and practically begging waiters to bring them hot water to warm up a baby bottle for their oldest son.

It took six years for the gadget to go from a sketch on a pub napkin to a real invention but now after testing it on their second son it has hit the market.

The gadget contains a sealed warming unit that is beneath the teat inside of the bottle so that when you turn it on with the touch of the button the solution is warmed inside the warmer which then warms the milk as it passes through the chamber.

Nurse and independent breast feeding counsellor Clare Byam-Cook hailed the device stating that its convenience and safety will make new parents’ lives much simpler.

The feeder and bottle costs around £20 and can be purchased from John Lewis which also sells a two teat pack for £4.50.
