Re: toxic baby bottle report

[Guest guest]

Evenflo makes glass bottles. Get them while you can. They are getting harder

and harder to find. For those using sippy cups, Kleen Kanteen makes some

stainless steel ones, Themos makes some stainless steel sippy cups too...I

bought mine at the Target, but now I use some by the name Safe Sippy Cup.

These are all selling out all over as news of this chemical leaching in our

kids drinks. For other non toxic food storage and lunch containers, anchor

hocking makes some...available at walmarts or targets, etc, ...and

lifewithoutplatics.com offers stainless steel plates bowls, water cooler

bottles etc....
