try stainless steal
Pura stainless steal water bottles are made of 100% surgical stainless steal and will not leach ANY harmful chemicals into your family's beverages. Recently the makers of SIGG aluminum bottles admitted that there is in fact BPA in their bottles! After selling over seven million last year!
This is so disgusting, children all over the country use those bottles and parents give them to their kids thinking it is safe. If you want to check out Pura, please visit www.purastainless.com . All their bottles are backed with a lifetime warranty and they have a complete toddler and infant line. You will never have to buy another water bottle again!!

FDA under review for not researching BPA properly
In response to of, from what I've researched about the topic, I believe the FDA is currently under review for not efficiently reviewing the known research material about BPA. Apparently the FDA only looked at studies done by industries that manufacture BPA (14 studies in total). Of the 300+ other studies by collegs, universities, and scientists, over 90% of them have said low doses of BPA are harmful. The other 10% didn't have an opinion but did not deem the stuff as safe. Because of the FDA's negligence to this topic, they are under review. I imagine BPA is going to be banned within the next couple years so my advice is to avoid it as much as possible. Every little bit counts.

BPA in Baby Products Packaging Too!
Thank you for your coverage on BPA. The natural products industry has known about this for a long time, but I think something is being missed in the overall story. We believe that what goes on your baby's skin is just as important as what goes in his/her mouth. The emphasis has naturally been on baby bottles, which is great. But we're very interested in the actual baby products packaging and making them free of ALL estrogenic activity (EA). Your baby products may be "all natural", but if they are packaged in non-EA free packaging, they're essentially contaminated by BPA, phthalates and other harmful chemicals that leach into the product.

glass waterbottles
I have three kids who used glass water bottles and they threw them, just like all babies over 1 do. I love those good old fashioned bottles. They don't break that easily. In fact I never had one break. I think a babies pitching strength is limited. If they're old enough to pitch harder, they need to give up the bottle, and join a baseball team. Go with glass when possible, they're easier to make sure you're getting them clean, too.
concerned
i work at a babie store ..... if you are feeding your child formula from a can .... and this crap is true .... maybe you should have stuck them on the breast....the bottles are the least of your concern unless you are dumb enough to over heat the bottle which would then would release the chem bpa .... which at this point is a concern but not proven!!!!!! maybe you should focus on the car seats that the government made you buy OH YEAH PLENTY OF BPA TO MAKE THEM LEGAL ENOUGH TO HAVE YOUR KID IN YOUR CAR RIGHT! DO SOME RESEARCH IS AL I ASK! its in canned formula, car seats ...... its everywhere and has been .... lets focus on the real prob like car fumes ...... did i mention the strollers that your child is in um has hard plastic (hard plastic =bpa)
