Have you mastered which plastics are safe yet? I know my county recycles #1, #2 and #4, but I still need to look up which ones may leech into our food. For the record, #1, #2, #4, and #5 are supposed to be safe. Avoid #3, #6 and #7. For now anyway. Green to Grow Bottles qualify as safe, and bonus, they have a cute fruit logo.
The company uses PES plastic that’s a light yellow, but it doesn’t contain new scariness like phthalates and bisphenol A or old worries like lead and PVC. Each bottle comes with a nitrosamine-free silicone nipple and can be cleaned on the top rack of a dishwasher. It comes with beginner nipples for newborns to three-months olds, but others can be purchases in three-packs for $3.99.
Green to Grow offers four options: a 5-ounce and 10-ounce sizes in either regular or wide necks. Bottles cost from $7.49 to $9.99. Additional nipples are avilable in three packs for $3.99.
