After hearing the controversy w/the plastic in the baby bottles, has anyone replaced theirs? I use Avent, but now I read that they are unsafe?

Wondering what everyone's thoughts are.

Lindsay how are you and your DD? It has been a while since I heard from you.
As for the bottles. I still breastfeed. The occasional bottle that he does have I just use the plastic bottles. I called the company that I get the bottles from and they said there is so little amount it is okay. I use the same bottles for Daunte that I used for my DD (but new). And she has no problems.
Hope everything is good with you. Sherri

I switched to glass. The government gets paid by special interest groups to say BPA is safe to ingest. Call me crazy, you wouldn't be the first, but I'd just as soon use glass.

I started hearing the hype around the time my son was 4 months. I had intentions of putting him on a cup around 6 months anyway, so I just made sure to buy BPA free sippy cups.

The last report I heard was if you heated the contents in the bottle to boiling then it would release the bad chemicals, but I haven't heard the most recent issues. We only heat the bottles up to just warm, not hot. I may be wrong, that was just the CNN report I heard.
