A new government report (at the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences) says BPA is "of “some concern” for effects on development of the prostate gland and brain and for behavioral effects in fetuses, infants and children."

With the disturbing findings, more and more parents are looking for BPA-free bottles for their babies and toddlers. These are two that I have found are the best...

Think Baby Bottles ($16.99, 2 pack of 9 oz. bottles, thinkbabybottles.com)

Think Baby bottles not only are BPA-free but they're also free of PVC, lead and other harmful chemicals. They come in 5 ounce and 9 ounce sizes, plus a 9 ounce sippy cup (see photo, right) for when your baby starts the transition away from the bottle.

The nipples are really soft and they have a venting system that reduces gas and spit up. The bottles are a bright and gender neutral yellow.

Think Baby bottles are wider than traditional bottles, making it really easy for little hands to hold with or without the trainer cup handle. And you can put them in the dishwasher.

An added bonus -  a portion of the sales of Think Baby bottles benefit "Healthy Child Healthy World."

Foogo Straw Bottles by Thermos ($15.19, target.com).

These are good for babies 6 months and up that can drink from a straw.

They keep drinks cold for up to 12 hours, making them perfect for a putting breast milk or formula in while doing errands around town or a road trip.
