Early this year, attention was brought to toxic chemicals in plastic baby bottles. The concern: A chemical in some plastics called bisphenol A ( BPA ) - which has been linked with cancer, impaired immune function, hyperactivity, and other problems - can leach into a bottle's contents.
There's no need to be frightened, but parents should try to reduce baby's exposure to this chemical. Here is how:
Avoid hard polycarbonate plastic, which contains BPA. Instead, use bottles made of glass, or softer, safer plastic made of polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyamide. Brands that carry these include Born Free, Gerber, Sassy, and Medela.
Discard worn bottles: Those are cloudy and scratched.
Don't heat plastic bottles in the microwave, or wash them in the dishwasher.
