It’s Baby Care Plus+Milk from Tupperware, the latest product line of Baby Care Plus+.

Moms will be happy to know that the line includes Baby Bath and Baby Soap as well as Baby Lotion with a mild creamy floral scent that mommies and their little bundles of joy will love. So gentle is the scent you will hardly notice it. Like a whiff of freshness drifting in the air.

Infused with Lamesoft Skin Protector, Baby Care Plus+ Milk Bath and Milk Soap make bath time more fun for baby while providing a natural barrier around your baby’s skin to protect his sensitive skin.

To complete the pampering ritual, give your baby a little baby massage using the Baby Care Plus+ Milk Lotion. This milk lotion  is formulated with 24Hr locked-in moisturizers and vitamin E to keep baby’s skin  nourished, velvety smooth, soft, and clean all day.

“It’s so good that even mothers can use it on themselves,” Rico notes.

Banning BPA in feeding bottles and sippy cups

From our inbox comes this welcome piece of news:

Children’s health advocates hailed the Department of Health (DOH) for initiating a consultative meeting recently for a long-awaited policy measure that would prohibit bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC), in baby feeding bottles and sippy cups.

Arugaan and the EcoWaste Coalition seek to uphold the right of every baby to breast milk, “the first complete and zero waste food,” against false advertising and chemical pollution.  

These groups have long urged health authorities to impose a precautionary ban on BPA in baby food and beverage containers in view of regulatory actions on BPA by several countries to address growing consumers’ health and safety concerns.

Countries that have banned BPA in baby feeding bottles include the 27-nation European Union, Canada and USA in North America, South Africa, and Australia, China, Malaysia, and Taiwan in Asia-Pacific.



“Banning BPA in baby bottles and cups is an important health milestone and we hope that everyone will throw their support behind its speedy approval and subsequent enforcement,” says Aileen Lucero, acting national coordinator, EcoWaste Coalition.



“We urge the DOH to consider a more robust and stringent policy that will ban BPA in baby milk powder and baby food containers to further cut childhood BPA exposure through food contact materials,” pleads Ines Fernandez, coordinator, Arugaan.



Both groups are seeking a broader ban on BPA in baby food packaging to ensure that defenseless babies and children are adequately protected against exposure to a recognized EDC.

These concerned groups are avidly pushing for the consumer right to information via uniform, visible, and truthful product labels that will indicate if a product is BPA-free or not.



The groups cited Senate Bill 3121 on BPA filed by Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago stating that “manufacturers shall not replace BPA with substances that are known carcinogens, those that have carcinogenic potentials, likely carcinogens, known to be human carcinogens, likely to be human carcinogens, or suggestive of being carcinogens, and those with reproductive toxicants.”

They supported the immediate promulgation of the ban on BPA-containing baby feeding bottles and cups to ensure that non-compliant products are not imported and dumped into the country.

BPA, a chemical used to manufacture hard polycarbonate plastic containers, is widely used in clear plastic bottles and food-can liners.


Studies have linked BPA exposure to reproductive, neurological and development disorders, as well as to heart disease, obesity, and cancer.
