Not sure if you girls checked out the thread in the Baby section but I thought I'd post the link to it here. I don't want to seem paranoid or anything but I really think you ladies should know about this.
I was going to use everything Avent !!
Right now I just have some cheapie, I dont know brand that my aunt gave me. She had tons of the 4oz bottles that she didn't need anymore.
You can get glass bottles too Steph, and some plastic bottles are still safe. The ones that are considered bad are the ones that have been made with polycarbonate (the clear shiny plastic ones). Polyethylene plastic is still ok (they are usually colored plastic). If you use the drop ins, they're saying Playtex Nurser, Playtex Drop-Ins is ok as they're made from polyethylene.
When you go shopping for bottles, I'm assuming they must have some sort of ingredient list (haven't gone in store and really looked yet) just make sure polycarbonate isn't listed or that it says its bisphenol A free.
you don't sound like you don't care, most people don't know about it.
Its a personal choice really, I didn't know about this chemical at all until I heard the news lastnight. After reading stuff on it from both sides though, I've personally decided not to expose my bub to it.
Just thought it was something people should be aware of, some of the effects sound terrible
