Check their website, they are offering free samples of their drop-ins plus have a chart of all their products and wether they are BPA free or not. . TJ Kids and Toysrus both have Evenflo glass bottles for $3.79 (very reasonable compared to other options). Talked to Canadian Springs this morning. They are claiming that their bottles are safe for several reasons...1. They are not boiled clean, they first clean with mild cleanser and lukewarm water, then they are disinfected with Ozone. 2. At any sign of wear, they are recycled and not used again. I gotta admit I'm not 100% convinced with their answer though. Tupperware has this on their website. Rock n serve/heat and serve are "7"s...They are saying though that the amount of BPA in the plastic is minimal, thus they have no plans at the moment to recall or change anything. (this is what I hear from my consultant). http://order.tupperware.com/pls/htprod_www/tup_widget.show_page?fv_page_code=prodcodes&fv_section_name=help&fv_category_code=search&fv_item_category_code=200550 Playtex Advance are no good.

Honestly, I don't know how comfortable I am with any plastics right now - especially if you're popping them in the microwave, that's where the damage is being done. 1 is single use only. 2, 4 and 5 are plastic, but don’t contain BPA.

Started checking into all the products we have in our home. Thankfully I was able to breastfeed our daughter for her first year so bottles aren't an issue. I did however find out that the "microwaveable" tupperware rock'n'serve containers I use for my lunch everyday have BPA & by the company's own admission on their website, it does leach into food but the levels are "acceptable". Could it be that my lunch has been the reason we've had so much trouble trying for baby #2?.... I'm not going to take any more chances and will be getting rid of it. Only thing is, you can't recycle the stuff. Does anyone know of where to take all this plastic other than put it in the garbage? Hi Buzz! thanks for the info.

I just bought stainless steel bottles for my kids and myself which I hear are the way to go. (expensive too - 21.95) Let me know what you think and i will definetely look furthur into this and keep you posted. Thank you for making all this info on BPA 's available to us listeners. You are great! Sincerely, Denise Buzz,

We have Sigg bottles for our kids and don't worry about the Al, as the water-based coating on the inside has been very well tested. We also like the Klean Kanteen sippy (and the fact that it turns into a normal bottle later), though it can be a bit heavy for tiny hands. I'm trying to find a reasonable alternative to all the little plastic containers needed to send the kids' lunches to daycare... Thanks for the useful links.
