Everyone keeps telling me I need to switch to BPA free bottles and pacifiers. I value my baby’s health, but do I really need to spend the money to get new bottles and pacifiers (I know its not that much, but is it necessary?). How many other mothers out there still use bottles that are not BPA free?

I have been using playtex ventaire. I just saw a question about bpa in bottles. I have never heard of anything of the sort. Can someone please give me more information.

I’ve looked everywhere and found nothing. Also, are the nipples interchangeable with any other type of bottle?
I breastfeed too but after a month of exclusively bfing my daughter didn’t gain any weight so my doctor asked me to supplement with formula after she breastfeeds to fill her up. The problem is I don’t want to use bottles with BPA but my daughter will not take to any other nipple besides the nuk one.

There is no recycle number on the bottom of these bottles, they are made in China. I am worried about the safety of feeding my twins without knowing what type of plastic is used.

I think they should and retailors and companies should exchange bpa items for non bpa ones, do you agree?
You can still buy the old avent stuff with bpa in it at babys r us and I thought they had said theywouldn’t sell bpa

I saw on Tyra Banks Show that non bpa plastic bottle are only harmful to babies if they are heated because the harmful chemical breaks down when exposed to heat such as boiling water. Is this true? Is it still okay to use non-bpa plastic bottles if you’re only using it for cold/cool drinks such as apple juice?

I purchased the vent-aire bottles 5 years ago for my oldest son, then used them with my now 3 year old son and am still using them with my 6 week old son. I am now hearing about these toxins in these plastic bottles. I really like the bottles and want to keep using them. Is this still relevant even if the bottles were purchased 5 years ago and have been heated over and over again. Questions,comments, suggestions are appreciated!
