What should I do if the silicone bottle smells like plastic? 1 silicone bottle tastes plastic.
Generally speaking, silica gel bottles are odorless, because real silica gel is colorless, odorless and nontoxic. Even if food or liquid is stored for a long time, it will not produce the smell of plastic or rubber containers and can keep fresh. However, if the silica gel is stored in a closed space without ventilation for a long time, it may have a little taste, just like many silica gel bottles my mother just bought, which may have a taste because it has been stored in the warehouse for a long time.
Of course, the smell of silicone bottles may also be due to the purchase of inferior or counterfeit silicone bottles. If the smell can't be removed after disinfection with hot water, it may be a fake silicone bottle, so it's best to replace it directly with a new one.
So how do you get rid of the odor when you buy a new silicone bottle in general? Let me tell you something. The easiest way is to boil in hot water for 2 to 3 minutes, and then put it in a ventilated place for ventilation, which can basically remove the odor quickly. Silica gel bottle has the characteristics of non-toxic, light and soft, easy to clean, high temperature resistance and good stability. And it is not easy to deform and deteriorate, so it can be used to judge the authenticity of silica gel bottles.
How about a silicone bottle?
For the baby, mother represents a sense of security, because from birth, no matter whether you are hungry or not, you are accompanied by your mother's breast milk. But not all babies can always eat breast milk. Bottles have become a substitute for breast milk. There are so many bottles on the market that parents can't start. So, how about a silicone bottle for babies?
There are three kinds of milk bottles made of different materials on the market: glass, silicone and plastic. These three bottles have a wide selection of people, and each bottle has its own advantages and disadvantages, so we can't say whether it is good or not in general. Parents can choose different materials for their babies according to their own situation.
Glass bottles are easy to clean, can be used for a long time, and the bottle body is wear-resistant. But the disadvantage is fragile and the bottle is heavy. If parents choose glass bottles, it is recommended to prepare more. Generally speaking, the shelf life of glass bottles is one year.
Silica gel bottle is a popular material now, which does not contain bisphenol A, and is not easy to break, resist high temperature and deform. If disinfected for a long time, there will be no potential safety hazard, and the silica gel bottle feels comfortable. However, the silica gel bottle is easy to be oxidized after being used for a long time, and it is not so convenient to clean.
Silicone bottles smell of plastic. Why does the silicone bottle have a taste?
The problem that silica gel bottles have a taste has always existed, because it is said that silica gel bottles are made of food-grade liquid silica gel, and this silica gel material itself has a taste. Many brands of silicone bottles have no taste because they have gone through many procedures to remove odor in the production process, but some of them will inevitably have taste. Under normal circumstances, after buying a bottle, if it smells, you can clean it and boil it for 3-5 minutes. Then put it in a ventilated place to dry, so that the ventilation time is enough and the smell is gone, because silicone bottles are also called breathing bottles. In the packaging box, there is not enough ventilation time for the bottle to give off the smell. Disinfect the silicone bottle separately, because its tooth cover and handle are generally made of PP, and the temperature resistance of the silicone bottle is only 120℃, while the temperature resistance of the silicone bottle is 300℃.
How to deal with the plastic smell of silicone bottles
However, even a comotomo bottle from official website or Amazon in the United States may smell a little plastic when it is first opened. In general, silicone and plastic baby bottles may have a little plastic smell if they are unpacked.
In general, newly bought baby bottles need to be boiled in water. Then, it will be tasteless after a day or two. Of course, pay special attention to the temperature when cooking plastic bottles to avoid problems when cooking. Moreover, the silica gel bottle has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, and there is generally no problem.
For example, comotmo bottles are generally recommended to be scalded with boiling water when they are first purchased or disinfected. Bottles and nipples can be boiled, cooked and disinfected in a sterilizer. However, when the nipple and bottle are cooked, the gray PPSU on the bottle mouth should not touch the pot wall to avoid deformation or odor, and it can be cooked for three minutes. Because the nipple and bottle body are top medical grade silicone, which can resist high temperature of 450 degrees, the gray bottle mouth is PPSU which can resist high temperature of 200 degrees, and the bottle cap and bottle ring are resistant to high temperature of 120 degrees.
Generally, after boiling in water, the smell of plastic will not disappear immediately, but after a day of outdoor drying, it should be basically tasteless. The most experienced Bao dad understands.
If it still smells after many days, it depends on whether the supply is genuine or not. It's very simple. You can still see it roughly by the material and transparency. Generally, the quality of fakes will be similar, and good materials will not be used.

Qinbu
2. After the water is boiled, put the acrylic milk bottle, nipple, nipple cover, nipple ring and pliers into it and cook for 5 ~ 10 minute;
3. Clip out the bottle with pliers, dry the water drop, then put the nipple into the nipple ring with pliers and fix it on the bottle with bolts, and then cover the nipple;

Personal opinion:
Glass bottles are the highest in material safety, and the price of bottles is generally lower than other materials, with high cost performance. Generally, it is best to use glass bottles for newborns of 0-3 months. Of course, we should also pay attention to the selection of good quality glass bottles. Glass bottles with too low price may burst suddenly because of their relatively inferior materials, which are not resistant to high temperature and rapid cooling.
