Which Nuby Bottles, Sippys, Teethers and Utensils Are Really BPA Free?

Hi Alicia.
Like Ashley I have a 9oz Insulated Flip-It cup and a 12oz Flip it cup which have the number A9 in the screw cap. I also have another 12oz Flip-It cup with the number A12 in the screw cap. Can you please tell me if this has anything to do with the ‘BPA status’ of the bottle/cap or is it something to do with the straws (they have different types of valves on their straws) – this is probably one for your Nuby Rep . The two 12oz Flip-It cups have 2006 on the base, whereas the 9oz has nothing.

All of the cups that I have are similar to the ones in the BPA free pictures. I am assuming that they are safe and only the 9oz insulated cup may have some BPA in the flip it (so the BPA is only only the small sliding section only?) section of the lid?

I went into Target today and saw some of the Insulated Flip-It cups with Nuby 08 on the base – I am assuming that these are the new cups with no BPA? It is quite confusing as some of the Nuby products are labelled BPA free where others aren’t – in the instance of the Flip-It cup range.

I should also mention that I live in Australia, and thank you so much for all the information and research you have provided on this site.

What about the Nuby infant feeder sets, the ones with the cup with the handles and the spoon combo?

where can I find one of these sippy cups? 9oz Insulated No-spill Cup with Flip-it Cap 2 Pack (BPA in flip-it cap)
Do these sippy cups have the ounce markings?

I just purchased a 2-pack NO-SPILL CUP WITH the higienic cover (soft spout/easy grip desig), however there is no note on the packaging that they are PBA free. They look like the ones pictured above, however the color of the cup is darker, not as light the the pictured one. Are they also PBA free?

Hi Alexandra,

You won’t find any “BPA Free” markings on the packaging, because manufacturers are not required by law to label their products.

This is why we’ve spent hundreds of hours providing lists like this one, to help parents make informed decisions when shopping at stores other than The Soft Landing.

You can read more about the issue with labeling here.

are the nuby bottle all microwavable?

Please help
I noticed you do not sell the Fun Feeding Spoons with Toys and Sounds. Is there a reason?
Is this the same product??
Sound Bites Spoon Set
It has a different name, but it looks identical.
Is this BPA free?

Okay, I love this site. Such a great resource. Has anyone else realized that the Nuby Nibbler still isn’t “safe.” It may be BPA free, but according to HealthyToys.org the mesh bags contain a good amount of PVC….there is so much to worry about I sometimes picture my babies not being allowed to use anything but their hands (not really, but you get the frustration level)….

Hi Jennifer,

We read the test results first thing yesterday morning on the Nibbler and were surprised to say the least. We’ve already contacted Nuby to get the scoop from their corporate QA dept and will be making a formal announcement asap.

I’m honestly wondering if the test results could have more to do with PVC packaging causing cross-contamination on the surface of the toy. I wrote an article that topic for Healthy Child after HeatlhyToys.org came up with a positive test for PVC on the Sassy Feeding Pots, which are 100% PVC-free. We’ve also contacted HealthyToys.org to find out more about their testing methods and will let you know what we find out there too.

Best,

Alicia

Hi,

Hi I just bought the Insulated 9 oz Printed Cup with Flip-It Straw I have noticed that they are BPA free as of 6/08 how do I know when it was produced?

hi alicia- thank you so much for posting this. I just purchased some Nuby items that are shown above as BPA-free, but did not have BPA-free on the label. The bottom of the sports sipper has the copyright symbol and then 2005. Does this mean the bottle I just purchased (Dec 2008) was created in 2005, thus not being BPA free? Or is that just when the bottle was originally created? Please let me know if you can! thank you, sara

Hi Ilana,

The cups typically have the year of production stamped on the bottom. If not, let me know and I’ll inquire about it directly with Nuby.

Alicia

Hi Sara,

If you purchased one of the cups that DO NOT include a note saying “BPA-free as of . . . ” you should be in great shape. We’ve confirmed with Nuby that the other cups have had the same “ingredients” for many years (definitely beyond 2005), so they have been BPA-free for some time.

Alicia

i just bought a 7oz & 11oz standard bottle with the label 2005 at the bottom of the bottle. Since it is produced in 2005 & not 2008, can you confirm that it is PBA free? Thanks.

I brought a pack of two flip it straw sipper cups for grandchildren made by Nuby . When I I took them out of package they had a bad smell . I have tried everything i know to get the odor out. I even tried broling them and soaking them in soda and vinagar and they still smell. HELP my grandchildren love drink
ing out of sipper cups with a straw.

Hi there,

Great site! I purchased a Nuby microwavable section plate today, and was wondering if you knew if it was bpa free or not. I can’t seem to find any info about this item online.

Thanks!

Hi Sue,

We use Nuby cups a lot and have never experienced that before. I think you may want to contact the store you purchased them from and see about exchanging them out.

Alicia

Hi Catherine,

If they are exactly the same bottles as seen on our list above – then yes, they are BPA-free. We’ve asked Nuby specifically about those bottles, and they have used the same “recipe” for many years, including those made in 2005.

Alicia

i am in love with nuby

I am trying to find anyone who has used the Nuby Natrual Touch Silicone bottles.

I have very small nipples and im looking for bottles to use with my breast milk.

PLEASE HELP! Im 8.5 months along and am running out of time.

Hi Michelle,

The Natural Touch line of products is not yet available in the U.S., so we haven’t had the opportunity to try them. They should be available in the U.S. by April or May, but that won’t be of much help to you . . .

Maybe one of our international blog readers has some input for you??

Alicia

Love your info. Thought I would pass on some that I came across regarding sippy cups. Thermos brand now puts out a BPA free, stainless steel sippy cup and thermos. Believe it or not, found one at Big Lots store, which most of the time receives “left over” products from bigger stores. Only one in the store, price was $14.00 for both. On the lookout for more of the same. Hope this helps someone.

Hi,

I just bought Nuby 3 Stage Standard 11oz Bottles & Sassy Feeding Bowl Set with Lids at Babiesrus’ bpa free feeding section. At that time, I was convinced that those items are really bpa free, and on the receipt that the cashier gave me the items were also listed as bpa free products.

Then, when I got home, I checked again and found out that there’s no ‘bpa free’ sign on those items’ packaging. So, actually are these items bpa free or not?

Fyi, the year at the back of the Nuby bottles’ packaging says 2006, does that indicate the year when they made these bottles? If so, does Nuby already go bpa free at that time?

I’m not peaceful now until I have good explanation regarding this matter, otherwise I would just return them to that baby store.

Thanks Softlanding
