So this is Earth Day, and what have you done?Well I’m getting more and more worried about the BPA leaching into baby bottles issue, it not only seems more real, it seems more impossible to reverse, at least in our own family. My wife used Nalgene bottles for the better part of the last decade or so, all throughout the pregnancy and breastfeeding. Even if we ditch all of our Avent bottles and go with something safer, is that enough? Is it too late? I’m all about being an informed consumer and making my own decisions, but on this particular issue, chemistry and babies, I’d like a little more assistance from the government.
Here is some reliable reporting, full of links
Washington Post– 4/22/08- “The Plastics Revolution” (includes link to online discussion at 11am!) lots of links to other sources, and a quick guide to those recycling symbols, and a guide to limiting your exposure.
Consumer Reports – April 2008 -“Q&A: Baby bottles and bisphenol A”
SafeMama.com Nov. 2007 – “BPA Free Bottle and Sippy Cup Cheat Sheet”
Please leave comments on your feelings, and what have you done?
