which bpa free bottles do you use besides born free?
I was reading that Gerber has long line of BPA free bottles and Evenflow has glass bottles, so just wanted to see if anyone is using anything other than Bornfree bottles , would you recommend them?

Just found this great article online from SafeMama.

This is a great “cheat sheet” that was compiled by SafeMama. It’s a very extensive list, so I wanted to share. If you are aware of a BPA-free bottle or sippy that is not on the list, please let me know and I will add it. That said, this may not be a comprehensive list as new products are released all the time.

*If you are currently using Dr. Browns polycarbonate bottles and would like to switch, the Dr. brown’s venting system (the internal pieces) are BPA Free and are made of polypropylene plastic. Also, they FIT and work with BornFree bottles which could be a little bit of a money saver.
** Dr Browns bottle nipples fit with Green to Grow bottles. As we know once a baby is comfy with something it’s sometimes a pain to change so it’s good to know we don’t have to change everything if we don’t have to. Alicia of The Soft Landing did a more exhaustive report on what nipples fit what bottles. Read about it on her blog here.
Visit Z Recommends for product reviews on many of these BPA-free products. They have done an outstanding job of researching and reviewing these products.
What is Bisphenol A?
Bisphenol A is a harmful chemical found in polycarbonate plastic which is used to make many popular baby bottles and sippy cups, among other things. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical that mimics the action of the human hormone estrogen, which alters our body’s natural pattern. BPA can leach from polycarbonate plastic, usually a hard, clear plastic that is common of many products we use everyday. Effects at even low BPA exposure include prostate cancer, breast cancer, early puberty onset, alterations in gender-specific behavior, decreased sperm count, affects on fertility, behavioral effects including hyperactivity, increased aggressiveness, impaired learning and other changes in behavior, and other problems.
Many companies use this chemical in their packaging including cans, soda cans, and plastic food containers. There is a risk of absorbing this chemical through the use of containing foods and liquids but can also leech into our water systems through landfills.
Many leading experts argue that the use of Bisphenol is safe to the human public but research may begin to further prove otherwise. No level of BPA has been deemed as safe by independent research.

Re: which bpa free bottles do you use besides born free?
I called the bru and they said dr.brown only has glass bpa free bottles no bpa plastic bottles yet. I read on dr.borwn website that they are going to come out with bpa free plastic, but for now they have glass. I just spoke to someone who uses Gerber clear view bottles and she is very happy with them so are her sisters,I also looked on the internet and they got pretty good reviews, so I ordered some to try , they come with laytex nipples so I ordered silicone nipples separately. I don't want to get glass bottles b/c knowing my DD she'll be throwing it all over once she starts holding the bottle

Re: which bpa free bottles do you use besides born free?
I do use the Born Free plastic ones, but I also use Playtex drop ins. I find DS drinks best out of the old fashioned looking Playtex drop ins.

Re: which bpa free bottles do you use besides born free?
So the Dr. Brown's bottles we all have been using are no good, are they going to replace them or do we have to spend another small fortune to replace them all?

They are not saying that they are no good. They have created another option for people who are concerned about BPA.

I think they are probably making them in response to walmart and canada pulling the regular ones from stores. Next year they will say that this plastic is bad as well.

The above article says that I can use my Dr. Brown's vents with Born Free bottles.....
I have regular Dr. Brown's not wideneck, does that matter? Born Free has only 1 size, right?

Re: which bpa free bottles do you use besides born free?
I just bought the old fashioned Gerber bottles and the
Playtex drop ins as well....
BBB told me they had them and of course when I got there they said they would be in in June!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shouldn't Dr. Brown's exchange our old bottles for BPA free ones?
Gonna call them tomorrow and see what they have to say....
And I was also told today at BBB that the Dr. Brown's vents are NOT compatible with the Born Free.......
