Safe, BPA-Free Drinkware for Babies & Toddlers

Want to find the safest drinkware for your toddler? Thanks to the tip from my mommy friend Tracy, I discovered the ZRecommends blog, where they featured the safe, BPA-free sippy cups in last November's BPA Report . Also, here's a BPA-Free Bottle and Sippy Cup Cheat Sheet from blogger SafeMama. if  you're busy like me and your head is spinning with all of this BPA in plastic news, I'm grateful for those that can break it down and tell me what to buy and what to toss.

Today, Zrecs also did a round-up of the Best BPA-Free Water Bottles.

As a part of your spring cleaning, take a sippy cup inventory this month and make sure your toddler is sipping from the finest of sippies.

Recently I had a baby, and purchased 9 Nuk bottles. Then I watched a report on the news about BPA. That scared me, so I checked all my baby bottles and found that all nine of the NUK bottles had BPA. I called the Gerber Company and spoke with a customer service rep. She is taking the bottles back and sending me coupons for some BPA free bottles. They paid for the shipping. Well while waiting for the new bottles, I bought 3 Doctor Browns plastic bottles and 3 Soothie bottles made by The First Years. I bought them cause there was no code at the bottom at all, thinking that there was no BPA in them. Well I was wrong... It has it. I called the companies, The First Years told me that they wont take it back and they wont assist me in getting any BPA free bottles. That all there bottles have BPA in it. I told the woman that it was missleading that there was no recycle number on there, cause it made me think that it was BPA free. She told me that they dont have to and that it is my problem basicly. When I spoke with Handi-Craft which is in St. Louis, MO. and told them about the bottles and asked what are they doing about it. I was told that if you buy some more DR BROWNS bottles that are BPA free then I need to send to them the UPC code off the bottles and they will send me coupons for products for the amount spent. HUMMM that is not right. I was told to speak with Scott Rhodes and see what he will do.. I called to speak with him and got no one. I dont know about you but there is no one you can trust anymore. This is very upsetting. I have told you everything that happened the way it happened. I think that people need to stand up to these companies and make them change things.

Hi Marilynn,

Gosh, I'm so sorry that happened to you. You're right that we need to stand up to these companies to keep them from misleading consumers. I appreciate you sharing your story here to prevent that from happening to the rest of us.

Many thanks,
Liz
