So here's the dealy yo. This whole BPA in bottles news is upsetting. I watched the Today show Monday morning (like I do everyday of my life) and saw the segment on baby bottles. Immediately I was on the internet searching. After breastfeeding we have used nothing but Dr. Brown's bottles. They're the best, right? Well, I guess in this instance you don't get what you pay for. I stumbled upon sites that had dr. browns on the bad list for BPA in bottles. Yet, on the dr. brown's website they claim that they used to have bottles with BPA but now all bottles are BPA free. Who do you believe? Obviously no one. So I turned to the best thing I knew for an answer..my gut. Something told me to get to babies r us and get some new stuff. So, we started on born free. We've been weaning out bottles anyway, so now we are bottle free (on sippy cups) and BPA free. (Or as far as we know, tomorrow our car seat may be causing obesity).
Here is a good link for mom's to get "real answers" on eco-friendly baby supplies. This blog specifies good sippy cups, bottles, bowls, etc. NatureMoms.
I was excited to learn that her boon bowl, sippy cup, etc are all safe. So be sure to check out their site if your a mom to a little one.
I think this sent all moms into wacko mode yesterday. I checked my email and had tons of forwards. I was washing the new cups when I saw Jina's email. Thanks girl! Is this not a stressful time to be a mommy? I know there will always be something, but I feel like I have to worry everyday. I guess that's what the future holds...lots of worry. But for a good cause!
Since it's Earth day I thought I'd share my tip. I have used sigg bottles for a long time. They are my favorite. I used to order them online, but they sell them at whole foods. They are not that expensive when you compare costs of bottled water, reduced trash in your home and the most important...less plastic on our planet. Try them out!
Be good to Momma Earth!
