They don't charge.  I want to know if this "gift" is prohibited under baby-friendly guidelines.  They have Ross insignia all over them.  Our hospital is not baby-friendly and has gone to these because they are 'free'.  They are not smooth on the interior, cannot tolerate sterilization because they are very thin, cannot be easily cleaned because of the shape of the interior (thus are vulnerable to a build up of biofilm).  Parents, however, will reuse them.  They are a great advertisement tool for Ross.  And we know they are NOT a code violator, right?

Wanted to share with the list. I have gotten several responses that stated that the Abbott Breastmilk Storage Bottles are BPA free. The product page I was  finally able to access stated that they are made from polypropylene, not  polycarbonate, as I thought the lady on the feeding line had told me. 
So,  although not labeled as such, they should be BPA-free and DEHA
(Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate) free. 
 
Now on to find out how they compare in price to the 80 ml sterile collection containers we are now using.
