We make sure that what we give our children to drink is safe and surely we are serving it in safe containers, right? Not necessarily. All bottles and/or bottle nipples are safe for our children! Many have been found to contain harmful chemicals such as PVC or Bisphenol-A (BPA) and Phthalates. Here is a run down of what to look for and avoid.
Safe Baby Products - Baby Bottles
Glass bottles are a safe choice along with colored plastic bottles and clear plastic ones which are labeled BPA-free. If you are unsure, check the bottom of the plastic bottle for the recycle codes: #2 HDPE, #4 LDPE, or #5 PP are not known to leek any harmful substances.
Examples

All Mam bottles
Playtex's include their original nurser, and their drop in liners

Purchase silicone (clear) nipples that are made of medical grade, which is the highest standard. It does not contain PVC or Bisphenol-A, Phthalates.
