Why Breastfeeding and cloth diapering go great together!


SO you've made the decision to breast feed and it is going amazing, high five to you!  We know it isn't always easy.  Breast feeding is a learned skill for both Mom and baby and although can be tricky to master at first breastfeeding can have huge benefits for both Mom and baby including making cloth diapering beyond easy for the first few months.

Here is the secret: exclusively breastfed baby’s poop is almost completely liquid so it is super easy to remove before putting the diaper for washing into the washing machine or pail.  The washing machine does the work and does a great job at getting the diapers perfectly clean.  How cool is that?  Breastfeeding and cloth diapers are a match made in heaven!

Breast Feeding + Cloth Diapering = Healthy , Happy Baby :)

PURA Stainless Steel Baby Bottles and Sippers


Pura Stainless was created with a simple vision - to make a difference by responsibly manufacturing toxin-free, durable, and cost effective alternatives to bottled water and the petroleum-based (ie plastic) reusable bottles and food storage containers.
Our infant, toddler, and adult product lines are not only the safest in the world but they have won an array of global awards and accolades. In this day and age there is simply no reason to expose yourself or your little ones to toxin-laden plastics or to contribute to the massive waste problem created by bottled water.
But obviously we are not the only non-plastic alternative available. Many of our future customers have asked us why our products are the best on the market; take five minutes to read through the information below and we think you too will be a Pura advocate!

Made of safe, food-grade stainless steel

All Pura bottles are crafted from #304, also known as 18/8, food-grade stainless steel. Known for its resistance to corrosion and staining, and antibacterial properties, it is perfectly suited for use as a beverage container. In fact, many commercial food transport, storage and preparation products are made of #304 stainless steel due to these properties. And because stainless steel does not react with acidic foods or beverages, it will not affect the flavor of your beverage.


One Life... One Bottle Durability

Stainless steel is much more durable than plastic, glass or aluminum bottles. Steel bottles do not shatter or crack like glass and plastic and are much more puncture resistant than aluminum. We are so confident in our bottles that we back all stainless components with a limited lifetime warranty. Cared for properly your Pura bottle will be a trusty companion for years!

The Safest Bottles on the Planet... Non-Toxic and truly BPA-free

Pura bottles are non-toxic and truly 100% BPA-free. All bottles, components, and accessories are independently tested by a leading global testing lab and certified to have no detectable levels of Bisphenol-a (BPA), lead, phthalates or nitrosamines. Bottles that are either made from plastic or use plastic caps, sip spouts, or travel covers cannot make this claim as virtually all plastics have some level of BPA which will show up in independent testing.
All Pura products feature stainless steel lids, caps and/or infant nipple/spout collars in combination with medical grade silicone so the contents of the bottle are NEVER in contact with plastic and therefore there is zero chance of ingesting BPA or other petroleum-derived toxins.
All Pura products meet or exceed all relevant FDA requirements. Because safety is our primary concern we also meet or exceed the more stringent Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) guidelines and the European Commission Directive 2002/72/EC. 

Infant & Toddler Bottles that Adapt to the Needs of your Child

We strongly feel that kid's bottles should adapt to the needs of the child, not the other way around. As a result, our patent pending Kiki infant bottles can be converted into a spill-proof toddler sippy bottle - and our toddler cup can be converted into an infant bottle just by swapping the nipple and spouts. And, if your child has a strong preference for another manufacturer's nipple or spout, our bottle will probably work with those as well.



Sandblasted Interior Surfaces on Kiki Products

After electro-polishing the Kiki infant and toddler bottles, we take the extra step to sandblast all interior surfaces. This creates an ultra smooth surface that aids in cleaning. To our knowledge no other infant and toddler bottle manufacture takes this extra step.

Chuggable, Wide-Mouth Top

Our Kiki infant and toddler line also feature a wide neck as this design has been proven to support breast feeding and, when combined with the vented Pura silicone nipples and sip spouts, help prevent colic and the swallowing of air. Of course wide neck infant and toddler bottles are much easier to clean and fill than old school narrow neck bottles.

Backed by a Lifetime Warranty

We're so confident in our bottles we've backed them with an unprecedented lifetime warranty.

Award Winning Innovation


Pura is proud to have been selected as one of the TOP 50 Small Businesses in the USA for 2009 by Intuit and Working Mother Magazine chose Pura as the Best Family Eco Style Company in March 2010. A European architectural design publishing house has chosen the Kiki line as a cutting-edge example of innovation in children's products and will feature the product in a book to be published in 2010. The patent pending Kiki line has also been featured in countless reviews, magazines, blogs, and television shows.

Plastic Feeding Bottles, a Health Hazard

A new study by leading researchers (Yang et al)1 clearly shows that BPA-free plastic components in juvenile bottles, adult bottles, and food storage vessels release chemicals that have been linked to a host of health related issues including (but not limited to): increased rates of breast, ovarian, testicular, and prostate cancer; early puberty in females, obesity, and altered functions of reproductive organs

The study focuses on leaching of chemical components, inherent to all plastics, that cause estrogenic activity (EA). It was found that virtually all plastic compounds including those labeled "BPA-free" leach chemicals that result in estrogenic activity. In fact, many of the BPA-free plastic formulations leachmore EA inducing chemicals than the old BPA-laden products (polycarbonate)! Even more alarming is the fact that estrogenic activity is induced by VERY low doses of these chemicals (in some cases 1 part per billion). The study also finds that "stressing" the plastic by exposing it to high humidity heat (dishwasher or boiling) or UV (UV sterilizers) accelerates the release of these chemicals. Most parents subject their bottles to these conditions on a daily basis.

According to Yang et al:
1.    "Almost all commercially available plastic products we sampled – independent of the type of resin, product or retail source – leached chemicals having reliably detectable EA, including those advertised as BPA-free. In some cases, BPA-free products released chemicals having more EA than did BPA-containing products."
2.    "We found that exposure to one or more common-use stresses often increases the leaching of chemicals having EA. In fact, our data suggest that almost all commercially available plastic items would leach detectable amounts of chemicals having EA once such items are expose to boiling water, sunlight (UV) and/or microwaving."

According to the study presented every baby bottle (containing plastic) tested (ref Table 2 of study) leached chemicals that have been shown to cause estrogenic activity and thereby lead to enhanced risks of a myriad of health problems. Every juvenile (infant and toddler) bottle on the market except those manufactured by Pura Stainless (Kiki line) employ plastic for the collar that holds the nipple or spout. Most bottles also include additional plastic components such as nipple covers, sealing disks, handles, spouts, etc.

This research is ground breaking and clearly shows the extent to which the use of plastic vessels/containers for food and beverage storage are hazardous to our health. It is likely the established juvenile product companies and plastics conglomerates will dismiss this as either unproven or a non-issue. Sounds a bit like their position when BPA was shown to cause similar problems, doesn't it? Show these firms that they cannot get away with double speak and the dumping inferior products on our children in the name of higher profit margins. There is only one true solution to this issue... eliminate all plastic from juvenile feeding products.
At present there is only one line of infant and toddler bottles that are completely devoid of plastic, the Pura Stainless line of Kiki products. These US and Internationally patent pending bottles employ a stainless collar that captures the nipple or spout and a silicone nipple cover. Toxicity tests conducted by an independent global testing agency found no detectable levels of any plastic by-products in these bottles. Fortunately, the Kiki line of bottles also feature the first modular lid system that allows the Kiki bottles to be used with nipples and spouts from a wide range of vendors so parents no longer needs to choose an inferior bottle because their child prefers a specific nipple.
The bottom line: Plastic feeding and hydration products, including BPA-free plastic products, are NOT safe for use!
