7 Days of BPA-Free Plastics: Green to Grow Bottles

Posted by Heather Kuldell

 

 

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.

I tried Green To Grow because toxic plastics scare us. I thought it was nice looking bottle, but I couldn't get my newborn to take to it all. Friends recommended BornFree which was a big hit with baby almost immediately. Its a similar price to greentogrow but you just seem to get a more substantial bottle. There's also a venting system to reduce colic - which, believe it or not, seems to be working. hope this is of help to someone...

We use these and Born Free. Kid will take either of them. Of course, this kid's a chow hound, so he'd probably eat out of anything as long as it was filled with food.
