In the News: FDA: Bisphenol A Bottles are Safe
simplesahm | June 12, 2008 
If you are a new mother or expecting mother you are probably aware of the controversy regarding Bisphenol-A or “BPA” for short. This is a chemical found in some plastic baby bottles that could increase cancer risks or cause brain abnormalities (according to some reports).
I am the guilt-ridden mother of two young children who used Avent bottles exclusively when they were babies. Needless to say, I was thankful to read this recent news article - but somewhat skeptical.
Knowing that this was even *somewhat* of a concern (at least concerning enough to get stores to pull BPA bottles off of the shelves) I am not so sure I would risk using them ever again.
Here is the rest of the article…

You can get alternative baby bottles (BPA-free and glass) at www.discountorganicbaby.com.

I think a conscientious mom second-guesses every single decision. We all want the best for our children.
I work in medicine and this debate is a lot older than most people realize. 17 years ago I made the decision to use glass exclusively but then worried about the problems THEY present.
You just do the best you can with the info you have at the time. No one can ask anything more of you than that.
