I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Nuby Company for the “Natural Touch 5oz or 7oz Silicone Bottle with SoftFlex Wide Neck Nipple”. My daughter is 8 months old, and i wanted to start giving her formula, but from about 30 bottles i tried, she didn't like any of them – but today – gosh, when she tried the Natural Touch bottle, it was like God sent – she loved it. Started eating right away – what a release, so thank you. Highly Recommended

Are these BPA free Nuby baby feeders sterlizable? Do we need to boil them before use or these are to be used as such. As recently i bought 300mL BPA free feeders …after boiling it became leaky

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that I bought some Nuby pacis 2 weeks ago and the ARE BPA free.
They are the Nuby Natural Touch softflex pacifiers. i think they are fairly new, as the Natural Touch Silicone nurser is also new (and BPA free).
Thanks!

Thanks, Amy!

It’s really tough to tell which is which with some companies like Nuby. Why don’t you email us a link to your specific product online and we’ll research it for you

Hello –
This is a fantastic website! Thanks so much for all the wonderful information! My daughter is ready for sippy cups, and in going through the different ones from my shower I find that I have a NUBY 11oz 3-stage non-drip standard neck bottle. I am confused because on the list is says that some are but others aren’t? Mine is much ‘pinker’ in plastic than the ones shown on your photograph, so does that mean it’s the PC plastic and not the PP? I am so confused? How can I tell?
Thanks so much!
Amy

Hi Jeanne,

You’re welcome – it’s a confusing situation!

Yes, the Nuby Nibbler, Hot Safe Spoons and Icy Bite Keys have been BPA-free for several years and Nuby just began labeling as such in response to concerned parents.

Hi Alicia,

Thanks a lot for your explanation, that’s really helpful

Just an additional info to your great explanation, when I finally opened the packaging, on a small paper inside the bottle Nuby DOES say that the bottle is bpa free (wish Nuby would put this highly important info more “visible” for us, LOL).

Another thing that I’m still confused about is Nuby Nibbler, Spoon with hot indicator and icy bite teether keys. I had bought these items from 2 different online stores. The items came from one store have no bpa free sign on the packaging (years of production are 2005+2006), but same items came from second store do have bpa free sign (years of production 2008). Does this mean, Nuby finally puts bpa free sign on their new produced items? If so, just to make sure again, the nibblers, spoon with hot indicator and icy bite teether keys produced before 2008 are also bpa free, right?

Thanks so much.

Rgds,
Jeanne

Hi Jeanne,

That’s a great question – and one that we hear almost everyday. We recently posted a F.A.Q. on our store website answering that question that question, and here’s how we explain it to our customers:

Q: I just received my order and I’m worried because not everything is labeled as BPA, PVC and phthalate-free. Does this mean I received a toxic product by mistake?

A: No. Manufactures are not required by law to label their products with “ingredient” lists. Some products may be labeled, and if so, that manufacturer has chosen to label independent of the law.

A label would make life SO much easier! Then we wouldn’t have to spend the immense amount of time and energy we do to locate and confirm (repeatedly I might add!) that a given product is made without the use of BPA, PVC and phthalates

As for Nuby’s product coding system – yes, they do stamp the year of production on most of their products. The products we have listed on the above list have been BPA-free for many years according to Nuby. They were not designed to be specifically BPA-free – it was more of an accident. Please note though, that any of the products recently added to our list (meaning they were redesigned by Nuby to be BPA-free) will include a specific date for the change over.

Hope that helps,

Alicia
