Thanks for all you input and opinions, I know my son turned out just fine on those plastic "hazardous" bottles but since I was considering replacing some of them I thought maybe I will try some glass ones. My son has is check up in May and we will be past the 12 week mark by then so I am going to ask his pediatrician to see what he thinks. I have found some at Target and other stores you can order them online from. I've heard about the water bottles to and although I don't heat anything in mine I used to re-use the bottles from the bottles water and I don't think I will be doing that anymore but all of his sippy cups have #5 on them and are considered safe.
I'm having my first baby in September and I'm all for glass bottles, there safer and I got 2 large glass bottles with expensive teat for $20. 'NUK' sells glass bottles which I got from target. I had to ask because the bottles are in the same packaging as the plastic but have a small 'glass' label up the top which is hard to see. Not sure if they sell those where you live..you could try. They say you shouldnt use water bottles for ages because the chemical leaks so can you imagine a bottle..when its heated, boiled etc for so many months.
You know what... I think if most kids are turning out fine that most bottles are fine. I am normal and healthy and was fed on plastic "hazardous" bottles. I may find ones with LOW levels of it, but otherwise I'm happy as long as the baby is.
I bought inexpensive glass bottles through Amazon (they are evenflo). I got 3 bottles for $5.99 I think. Born Free is also really good but extremely expensive (at least for me!).
I actually have not used them as my daughter didn't want to switch from Avent to the Evenflo (she'd already had them for over 9 months and I figured she'd get off bottles in a few more months so I didn't push it on her). I'm thinking about selling mine on Ebay. So you should check Ebay and Amazon.
i use born free bottles. they have them at babies r us. they come in glass or plastic but both BPA free
Evenflo has some pretty inexpensive ones, just type in glass bottles in your search engine, I also found a website that sold bottles with these sleeves over then that are suppsed to protect against breaking. Born free is a website that sells them as well but for like ten dollars apiece although when I told my mom that price she didn't seem to think it was high!!
My husband spoke to a buddy who's a physician and now is all about glass bottles. I can't find them in a store... I'm also worired about the breaking issue as bottles get dropped/thrown quiet a bit when kids get stronger... I am also concerned about the toxins in plastic... I'll cross that bridge when I need to - not until July!
