I have a mom with questions re: the best type of plastic containers to
store EBM in for her full-term baby, now 6 months old. My JHL reference is
from 1992 - which says for a baby in a NICU, use glass or polycarbonate.
For a baby at home, polyethylene bags are acceptable.  Also, that
polypropylene has advantages over polyethylene in maintaining the stability
of the properties in human milk, esp SIgA.  Then I read in Consumer Reports
that one type of plastic (?I thought polycarbonate) was thought to leach
bisphenol A into the milk - this is similar to estrogen.  I'm so
confused!!!!  Can anyone advise me!  Thanks - Janna in CT
