Plastic Paranoia

I'm pretty sure I sucked down my fair share of formula from plastic bottles as an infant. But ever since I first heard the word leaching (as in toxins leaching from water bottle into water - shudder), I've been a little obsessed over cutting down on the plastic I have in my life. I use a BPA-free Brita pitcher every day, carry my Biter bottle with me everywhere, and definitely, always pass on the plastic bags at the grocery store. I'm forwarding today's tip (flagged "important") to everyone I know who has an infant...or a plastic water bottle. I even pop my Amy's organic frozen dinners out of their plastic dishes and nuke them on a real plate instead, and so far the only drawback is one more dish to wash, so I'm sticking to it.

It's an eyeful you'd probably rather avoid. Unfortch, many baby and adult water bottles are made from plastic that contains the toxin bisphenol A (BPA). Opt for BPA-free bottles, and hide your eyes from the rest.

We use the Sassy MAM bottles (BPA free) for our baby when I can't be with her to breastfeed. They're a lot cheaper than born free bottles. We also decided to get my mom a SIGG water bottle for mother's day & picked up a camel-back for myself. breast cancer runs in our family, my mom's already had it & won so i'd like to help her ward it off again if possible! Who knows?
