Evy1616 asked this question in the Answers section and a lot of moms want the answer. There is much confusion surrounding bisphenol-A (also called BPA), an ingredient used in plastic products
including baby bottles, pacifiers, teethers, and other toys. Some
scientists are saying that it could be unsafe for babies (they say it
can cause cancer, diabetes, and affect breast development), but the FDA says there's no need to worry and that BPA is safe for infants ...
Still, Walmart and Toys 'R' Us have decided to stop selling baby bottles containing BPA. And there are several brands that make BPA-free baby bottles including Playtex (which is offering free samples of its BPA-free Drop-Ins Original Nurser System on its site), Evenflo, Adiri, BornFree, and Green to Grow. Natursutten and Razbaby are two brands that make BPA-free pacifiers. What do you think? Are you worried enough about BPA that you'll change your baby's bottles or are you comforted by the FDA's safety report?

i switched to BPA free when alora was 4 months old, she is now 10 months old. it really frightened me!
I don't know what to really think of it. I used hard plastic bottles for my first and am also using them for My second and probably will continue to. I would have to do alot of research.
According to Gerber's website the Gerber Clear View and Fashion Tints bottles are BPA free. I use the Clear View bottles for my 8 month old son. Here's Gerber's BPA link to read more...

I've had 5 babies and used a lot of different types of bottles and never had a problem with them getting sick from them. So really I'm not going to stress out about it and I'm not going to waste money on expensive bottles if they really don't make a difference and my baby is fine.
I am not going to stress about it. Babies have been using bottles with BPA for decades. Most of them are leading completely normal lives. I think that people are always looking for something to freak out about.
When I found out about it I switched to the playtex drop ins. The bottles are around $4.50 a piece and the bottle liners are $6.00 for 100 (I use the walmart brand). It is a little bit more expensive but I would rather be safe than sorry.
I'm not jumping on the freak out bandwagon, it seems like everything out there takes the blame for causing cancer at some point.
On the other hand, if a BPA-free version of something I want is available, I will get it if it's not ridiculously more expensive, just as I do with organic products. My baby uses BreastFlow bottles, and I'm not about to switch to something else just because it may, but probably doesn't, have something bad in it.
here in this baby blog ia a lot of products and information for Mom's and babies.
