If you google this stuff there's a ton of info out there...for the most part it seems the clear nipples and pacifiers are the silicone (safe) ones. That Z Report site seemed to have a ton of information.

It's frustrating but once you start reading about and your "eyes are opened" to the issue, it's hard to pretend you don't know or not care.

The next step is to check all your beauty products (shampoo, lotion, etc.) for the ingredient "fragrance"...which pretty much means: phthalates. It's in all the Johnson & Johnson stuff and much of the mainstream-type baby products.

I picked up a book called Organic Baby that had a list of ingredients to avoid.

Gerber's Clearview (with the blue, green, or purple caps) are BPA free according to the Z report. As a plus, they fit the Medela pump and are at Target 3 for 2.99!

Best buy ever!

The Nuby bottles - both 7 oz and 11 oz are PBA free - says so right on the package. They are easily available at Babies-R-Us - that is all we use now that we have transitioned away from the glass Evenflow bottles we started with.

According to Playtex, all of their drop ins and nipples are BPA free. I couldn't find anything about their bottle nipples, but they do make a silicone Binky, so I would guess they would also have silicone nipples as well...

According to the Medela website, their bottles are BPA-free, for those of us who pump.

If it's not rigid, probably not, but it might have phthalates, instead. I'm saying this off the top of my head, without all of the research I should do.

What about the plastic bag inserts? Do they have bisphenol-A?
