Tell me about BPA

Brittany FreyBox

Can someone tell me about BPA in bottles? I bought Dr. Browns bottles, which say they are BPA free. I recently bought some more off of someone who was finished with theirs. They looked a little different than the ones that I have so I looked up Dr. Browns bottles and BPA to see if the old ones have it in them, and I read something that said even the ones that say they dont have it do. Then there was an article about BPA just being a scare tactic.

I hadnt researched BPA before buying them. Should I be worried? Do I need to switch to glass to be 100% sure they are safe?

i use glass. we like the born free glass and also the avent. bpa is one of those things where you have to kind of pick a stance, despite evidence from both sides. but be warned--it is in lots of things from tupperware to canned goods (the lining of the can). thanks to lots of consumer awareness, it is coming out of many baby products.

I'm no help with the bottles specifically, but this is a great article on BPA, helping you understand why it is dangerous, etc.
