Comments on: Works For Me Wednesday: Finding the Safest Glass and Plastic Bottles for a BPA-Free Baby http://greenbabyguide.com/2008/04/22/works-for-me-wednesdayfinding-the-safest-glass-and-plastic-bottles-for-a-bpa-free-baby/ Earth Friendly, Budget Friendly Sun, 20 May 2012 15:21:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: joy http://greenbabyguide.com/2008/04/22/works-for-me-wednesdayfinding-the-safest-glass-and-plastic-bottles-for-a-bpa-free-baby/comment-page-1/#comment-770 joy Sat, 30 Aug 2008 14:19:14 +0000 http://greenbabyguide.com/?p=265#comment-770 It's one thing to choose to use Nalgene bottles as an adult, but it's another thing entirely to have your toddler or baby using them. With baby's milk there is a good deal of heating and cooling, both for warming the milk and sterilizing. Since that's when the BPA based plastic leaches toxins, it feels unsafe enough to me (a chronic cheapskate) to invest in glass bottles.

I read the report and must say that I am NOT going to throw out all of my nalgene bottles. There are so many more things out there that are more of a danger to us, I really don't see this as an issue. All this hysteria over BPA is a little over done.

I just assumed that a working mother would be pumping and bottle feeding if she could not be around the child for several hours a day. I know I worked just part time in my baby's first year and still had to pump every day so my baby could drink from a bottle during my absence.

It's the greenest option of the lot! No waste, very frugal and the perfect food for your baby. Namaste Mrs G x Can I respectfully ask why breastfeeding was not an option for you?

Those are safer plastic. I avoided combining heat+plastic. I used a combination of glass and the Mother’s Milk Mate bottles. Those are safer plastic. I avoided combining heat+plastic.
