Does anyone have a clue about the AVENT Tempo- Disposable System Natural Feeding Nurser? I tried going to Babies R Us to purchase it, but they say that they cannot sell it to us!

Just got back from Target myself and I too found the BPA free pacifiers on the shelt.. Yipee!!

Good News! I just got back from Target and Avent finally has the BPA - free pacifiers on the shelves!!!! I check every time I go into a store with Avent products because the alternative I have found is so hard to find. Thanks Avent for responding to consumer demand!

That's GREAT news, Sarah!

We get to wait until January to add the new BPA-free pacifiers to The Soft Landing, because our name doesn't start with "Tar" and end in "get" :)

Oh well, maybe someday . . .

I bought Avent pacifiers labled BPA free today at Target. Whoohoo! Finally! They look identical to the old ones but say "BPA-Free." They are plastic #7 w/ copolyster, which is apparently a BPA-free plastic in the same class as #7 with BPA.

I cannot wait for the BPA free pacifiers to come out! I read this blog months ago and found out that his fav. avent pacifier contained BPA so I went through a slew of other brands and he wouldn't take any of them! He only uses one at night and nap but I just can't stand knowing that he's been exposed to more BPA than we would have liked. We will be switching out his avent pacifiers for the new BPA free version as soon as they hit the shelves! Thanks for all the research you are doing and helping to make our kiddos safer and healthier- it is much appreciated!

Hi Bee,

We haven't officially researched the original Avent products, but from what we've heard (ZRecs.com), their products are free of phthalates.

We have only confirmed their new line of BPA free products and know that they are definitely free of PVC and thus phthalates.

I called Avent and I was told that their bottles, pacifiers and breast pumps contain BPA. Their other products like the sterilizer and bottle warmer are and have always been BPA free.
But, are their products phthalate free?

Eliza

Thanks Alicia. Can't wait to shop!

Hi Eliza,

All of Avent's pacifiers are currently made with BPA in the shield and handle.

We will definitely be adding their new line of BPA free pacifiers when they become available in the next month or two.

We'll update the blog post as soon as we have them in stock :)
