Now that I've tossed the non-cloudy Nalgene water bottles, I've been casting my angry eye around the rest of the kitchen. Sippy cups? Flour storage containers? Teethers? Wish I could just see the stuff. So good thing I stumbled across the Environmental Working Group's most recent Mixed Greens show, where they discuss this stuff.
Plus, there's always Safe Mama, who is all over this BPA issue - and I mean all over. Check out her excellent BPA Free Bottle and Sippy Cup and Pacifier and Teether Cheat Sheets. Yet another example of mamas helping mamas, because, let's face it, it's not like the Consumer Product Safety Commission has stepped up to the plate or anything. Go mamas!
One slick trick I learned on the Mixed Greens show: a great resource in the (happily expanding) wilderness of BPA-free baby products is the Z Recommends text messaging service (not that I text message or anything). Just text zrecs and a company name (Born Free, for example) to 69866, and you'll get a message with info about that company's products. If you try it, tell us how it went. I figure I'll learn to text message when my kids do. If they'll teach me, that is.
The Z Recommends text messaging service rocks, I recently used it while standing in the aisle at Target.
