Guess what!?! Baby is still alive, I guess we’ll never know if it’s because I switched to BPA-Free bottles… ha ha ha. Anyway, I previously posted that I had purchased a Dr. Brown’s BPA-free bottle. Oh wait, I purchased 2. Naturally 2 bottles were not enough. So I went back to Target and browsed through their bottle section again. Apparently they started stocking up on the new-wave bottles. They had glass BornFree bottles, and a basic Evenflo 3pk for only $2.99. Since the BornFree were about $10 each, I opted for the Evenflo.
One of the other changes I made, about 7 months ago, was a switch from plastic dishes for the kids to non-toxic, lead free enamel ware. Oh, now I can’t remember the name, oh yeah Golden Rabbit enamelware for children. I love them, and particularly because they have a vintage look to them.
I also went to the added expense months ago to purchasing some Sigg sports Bottles for Olivia and Jackson. We used them for quite a while, and I was sending one to school with Olivia everyday. However, they’ve since been lost and one even got left out in the curb and was subsequently squished under someone’s tire. They were cool while they lasted, I haven’t seen them for sale locally, but I haven’t really looked either.
It’s terrible we have to worry about such things, but I applaud your desire to take precautions. No, we’ll never know what would have happened had you not switched the bottles, but when faced with a possibility, even a remote one, why take a chance? Life is already too short.
Stay healthy!
