Eco-Friendly and Safe Bottles

A big debate right now in the parenting world is about plastic baby bottles. Research has shown that plastic baby bottles may pose a risk for your little ones because of a chemical that is in the plastic called bisphenol a (or BPA).

Dozens of environmental health organizations in the United States and Canada are calling for an immediate suspension on the use of the chemical, BPA, in food and beverage containers, including baby bottles. These groups saw a new study that stated when exposed to heat, baby bottles release BPA. According to researchers, BPA has been linked to obesity, diabetes and developmental problems in lab animals.

Good news! If this is a concern for you, there are alternatives.

BornFree Bottles come in both Bisphenol-A Free plastic bottles and Bisphenol-A Free glass bottles.
