  • We switched to BPA free sippys (Kleen Kanteen) a few weeks ago and are replacing all our Tupperware with glass. If/when baby #2 comes along, we will definitely replace all our bottles too.

    Plastic that comes in contact with food/drink is going to be verboten in our house soon. Especially if I can find good alternatives to Ziplock bags and plastic wrap.
  • I think that if you are buying stuff for the first time it is wise to go BPA free. But for those who have had the stuff for a while, I may wait until a real governing body weighs in.

    After all, i have followed the bandwagon of whether butter is good or bad for you and have spun myself around so many times that I don\'t even remember what the answer is.

    Its always good to be cautious. But there is only so much worrying you can do these days.
  • We also have tried to rid our house of BPA and PVC which is a carcinogen in plastic toys. The state of CA has recently passed a bill to ban all pthalate toys from our shelves and they are also attacking the BPA bottles. We too, have started using Klean Kanteens which I can\'t say enough about. We love them! We just want to err on the side of caution as well, especially as cancer, ADD, early-onset puberty, autism and various other serious issues continue to rise at alarming rates. Thanks for posting this.
  • We tried using the nipples from Avent on Born Free and it may seem to work, but will leak horribly. We eventually had to break down & buy all new nipples as well (Born Free comes only with newborn nipples). I will say that it was tricky to get the right speed flow and since they were sold out of a lot, we made a few mistakes. The variable flow are very fast even on the lowest flow. The 3 was also quite fast even though it's supposedly 3 months on... Good Luck. We switched in November 07.
