going BPA Free

I just spent this morning at Toys R Us swapping out old baby bottles. With all the recent attention to the dangers of BPA in plastics, it might be worth the research to see if your child's bottles, sippy cups, pacifiers etc. are considered safe. there are a number of blogs on the topic, but I found the most accessible reference to be http://safemama.com/. This site provides lists of BPA free products.

Also worth noting is that Toys R Us and Babies R Us will take any bottles/sippy cups/eating utensils (they must carry the item to accept it) that contain BPA and let you pick out BPA free products up to the value of what you brought in. You do not need a receipt, and it does not matter how used the items are. If you decide to do this I would recommend calling first to be sure your store is participating.
