I have not found any news either. After breastfeeding for 6 months, the ONLY nipple my son would drink from was the NUK (the wide one). Since they have BPA, the bottles had to go and so I bought a few BPA free bottles to see if the NUK nipples would fit in them. I discovered that the NUK nipples fit reasonably well in the Gerber Gentle Flow bottles! They might leak a tiny bit if the milk is too hot, but this rarely happens. This has been my solution! Good luck!

nuk bottles are not BPA free however the pacifiers are. Heres my source:
http://www.squidoo.com/nontoxicbabybottles

this site keeps a comprehensive list of all bottles that are bpa free.
i noticed the gerber gentle flow is BPA free. Generally, if your nipple is a standard regular neck you should be able to attach it to another regular neck bottle.
Walmart also sells a pack of bpa free bottles for 2.88 that are regular neck. you could purchase these and swap the nipple to see if it works.

I called Gerber and they said they are NOT BPA free. I switched to BornFree glass bottles and my baby loves it!

I looked too and I couldn’t find anything either. I do think that the NUK pacifiers are though…just as an FYI.

I’m not sure about the interchanging b/c I BF but here is a website I found that lists some interchangeable bottles and parts. Unfortunately Gerber wasn’t one of them though, sorry. Good luck!

I don’t think they are. The NUK pacifiers are BPA free though.
