What kind of bottle do hospitals use?-BPA related

My mom swear up and down that all hospitals use glass bottles, but that was almost 30 years ago! Anyone know what kind of bottles they use nowadays? Are the bottles reused? Are they BPA free? I would imagine if the bottles are reused they would take quite a beating from the washing/heating process.

They do not use glass. They use the nurser bottles with prefilled formula.

LIJ gave me plastic Similac premade travel sized formula 2 years ago. Not sure what they are using now.

Are these bottles BPA free? Are they reused- if so I would imagine they take quite a beating in the washing/sterilzing department.

If they are using the 2oz RTF nursettes, then, no they are not reused as they are a one-time only use.

The nipples and the nursers are one time use only. And even if you pump in the hospital, the nursers are one time use.

If you notice, all those who answered are mommies already, so you are NOT needing to get up to speed- believe me, you'll be forced there (and be an expert) soon enoughChat Icon Chat Icon

Yup. As of 6 weeks ago - that's what they use. The plastic nurser bottles that are prefilled with 2 ounces of formula. You just add the nipple and feed.
