Brief Answer:
Not much to be worried

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Usually the plastic does not melt. Even if it does, it is so minute that it does not cause health issue to mother. Causing health issue to baby is even remote risk.

When the baby is born, then take BPA free plastic bottles.

Hope it helps.

Hi again

I am quite sure that it would not have melted. Nowadays the use of plastic is very common. Children grow up using plastic all the time.

Please dont worry.
