I want to avoid bottles made in China..recs?

While I think using electronics such as TVs, computers, that were made in China is probably fine and not risky (healthwise) to use, however, I dont want to use Chinese products that goes into our bodies, such as food or baby bottles. So, could anyone please recommend a baby bottle that were NOT made in China? Where were your Advent, Born Free, Tomme Tippee, Playtex, ect, made in?
I ordered the Tommee Tippee off of Amazon, but I am not sure where its made in (package have not arrived yet.) If you ordered Tommee Tippee off Amazon, where were these bottles made in? (No information on this on Amazon site, and when I researched Tommee Tippee website they only stated what materials the bottles were made from, but nothing about where it was made in....)
TIA!

Re: I want to avoid bottles made in China..recs?
Thats what I was afraid of! I guess those are going back.
Do you know which bottles are not made in China that you could recommend? I would check myself, but its not always easy to check these things (ordering online and living in another country.)
Thanks again!
I found this:
Handi-Craft Co. (St. Louis, MO): makers of Dr. Brown's Baby Bottles in glass or polypropylene (and BPA-free), almost all now made in USA!!
so maybe Dr. Brown's is the way you want to go, although it says almost so may be hit or miss.
Did you feel comfortable using the bottle even though it was made in China? (For some reason I thought Born Free were made in Israel- but I guess not!)
Or, does it not matter if it was made in China as long as it is made of glass? (Glass seems like safer than plastic....)
Thank you.
The Born Free glass ones I got were made in China
I haven't used them yet, but I want to try to use glass rather than plastic if baby will take them.
I am seeing stuff online about parts being made in Israel, but when I looked on the box when I saw this post, it says made in China.
I have the same idea- I want to try to use glass at first, too!
I guess it looks like the majority of bottle brands seems to be made in China, and only very few made elsewhere! This is a little bit disappointing, because the bottles I originally wanted to try, such as Tommee Tippee or Born Free, now has to be either thrown out the window, or I have to accept they were made in China.... I think Im going to research all of my options first, though.
Thanks again to everyone that replied to this post.
I just went and checked the Born Free box that I registered for and received at my 1st shower. They are plastic but yes, they were made in Israel it says.
This is the set I am referring to:

Okay! At first, I want to try to see if the baby will take glass bottles- where did you get the Lifefactory? I looked at the website, it said Lifefactory made before 2009 were made in China, but after 2009 it is made in Europe or USA like you say. So, Im just wondering, if I buy the Lifefactory new on Amazon, are they always the ones made after 2009 and made in USA/Europe? It doesnt say on Amazon... Where did you buy yours? These bottles look great! Thanks!
If she ends up rejecting the glass bottles, I think I will try the Born Free made in Israel, recommended by pp: to pp, thank you for the link to the ones that you have.
I am glad to have more options! Thank you.
I mentioned it in the notes on my registery that we did not want any products made in China.. but like you i was mostly worried about the bottles & soothers - and cloth diapers were also my worry!
Avent bottles are not being made in the U.S. - be careful before you open the box read it because there was some OLD boxes (at burlington coat factory etc.) were still made in China. Everything at Babies R Us were all great and all the soothers!!!
Good Luck!
We actually had the same criteria when we bought bottles for our first child. I highly recommend the bottles we used with her. We plan to reuse them again with our second. They are Evenflo glass bottles. You don't have to worry about weird plastic chemicals getting into your baby's milk, and they are extremely durable and easy to clean/sanitize. They never hold an odor like plastic does either. They are produced in Mexico under Evenflo's guidelines, and the nipple is a soft silicone.
$5 for a 3 pack at Wal-Mart or $11 for a 6 pack at Amazon.

To WP3772: Does Amazon ever sell really OLD boxes of bottles like Burlington Coat Factory did? Living in another country most of my shopping is at Amazon- cant buy yet from local US Babies R Us website- what were your experience with Amazon if you bought from them? This is a concern because while the newer boxes are probably fine, old boxes are the ones still made in China like you said....thanks!! Where were your Avent made in?
To Hey June- Evenflow sounds really reasonable! I will check those out, too.
Thanks, everyone!
Does anyone know where the Munchkin glass bottles were made in? Or the glass bottles by Kinetic? I saw Boobunny glass ones that were a little expensive, their bottles sounded really great and scientific, but after visiting their website FAQs they said made in China! but closely monitored. Even though it is closely monitored, I dont want to risk anything that goes into babies mouths- sometimes Chinese factories bends the rules/dont follow things so strictly, so there is no telling if they are always strictly monitored or not (a friend who once dealt with business trips to China and visited many Chinese factories said that- he was really against anything made in China that went into our mouths) so Im not looking at Boobunny anymore- also for the price Boobunny was asking for, it should be made somewhere like France not China.... was a little disappointed, got excited to hear how it was like the Rolls Royce of baby bottles and they were cute! Oh well. So not getting Boobunny!
So, does anyone know where Munchkin or Kinetic glass bottles were made in?
Thanks again!
Does anyone have a Mimijumi, Nuk, Comotomo or Mams bottles? Can you please tell me where they were made in?
Thank you.
