Non-Toxic Baby Bottles


I never even considered the idea that not all baby bottles weren't safe & non-toxic. But again, when my son was born, I was proven wrong. Many of us remember about 3 years ago when people began to realize that BPA & phytates were actually bad for us. These chemicals are everywhere & possibly responsible for many cancers & other illnesses that people suffer from after a lifetime of ingestion & exposure. So why give it to our babies?
There are still companies out there making bottles that contain these chemicals. Besides using glass bottles, which is great too but heavier, there are two main types of BPA free plastic baby bottles. One is Born Free & the other is a new brand called ThinkBaby.
I am really impressed whith ThinkBaby because they have covered all the bases. They even have a polypropelene bottle which is one of the most non-leaching plastics & can be recycled afterwards. But all of their bottles are free of BPA, phthalates, PVC, lead and nitrosamine. The bottles have an anti-leak travel cap & an anti-colic nipple that is designed to be easy to clean. Plastic nipples can be toxic as well, so always chose silicone (the clear nipples, not the brown) & Thinkbaby made them very soft & more nipple-like.
Lastly, ThinkBaby uses recycled packaging....thank you!! Highly recommended.
