Babyway International have developed a range of BPA (Bisphenol A) free baby feeding products which are the first of their kind in the UK . The Little Wonders BPA free range is available from First Aid Warehouse, the UK 's leading supplier first aid, medical and personal care products .

Baby feeding bottles are amongst many other products that are typically manufactured from polycarbonate plastic. Easily worked and moulded, Polycarbonate has been used in the production of housewares for some time due to its high temperature and impact resistance. In the manufacturing process of Polycarbonate, an organic compound called Bisphenol A (BPA) is used as a key monomer in the production of Polycarbonate plastic products.

Bisphenol A (BPA) has been suspected of being hazardous to humans for some time and concerns about it's usage in housewares, namely food receptacles entered the headlines earlier in 2008 when reports were issued questioning its safety and products were removed from some retailers shelves.

Studies have been conducted to test the migration levels of BPA from polycarbonate articles into food and therefore identify the level of risk posed to consumers who use such products. The British Food Standards Agency published details of one of such studies which has identified that the risk of BPA migration is minimal, the results of the study can be found at the following URL: http://www.food.gov.uk/science/research/researchinfo/contaminantsresearch/contactmaterials/a03prog/a03projlist/a03036proj/

Despite this particular study identifying that the risk is ‘minimal under the worst foreseeable conditions' and other overwhelming evidence backing the safety of polycarbonate, parents are still naturally concerned about using these baby products. Understanding that some patents may be worried about the material content of their baby feeding bottles, Babyway International have developed and launched a range of BPA free baby feeding products. The Little Wonders BPA free range is the first of its kind available in the UK and includes baby bottles, baby table wear and baby dummies.
