Worried about the link between babies bottles and cancer heart disease etc:

Medela bottles are all BPA free and Adiri (you have to get these online) ones are too. There is also MAM ultivent bottles. You can get Medela and Mam at Target.

So is it just #7 plastic we have to avoid?

Is it ok to use a #7 bottle if you dont heat it to steralise it and if you dont heat it in the microwave and if you are only putting liquids that are at drinking temp in them (ie heat/cool in a glass jug or something?)

Put simply, is it ok if the bottle never gets hot?

emz, i wouldnt use anything made from 3,6 or 7.

at all, but that is just me.

I am having problems finding medela bottles - checked target and kmart - anyone seen any lately?

You can get medela online from lots of places and also on ebay (last time I looked it was a us seller).

In Canada, those plastic bottles have just been banned. Anything with BPA is not allowed. Glass bottles have been working well for us since then. I have broken a couple when they were dropped on cement outside, but inside, they are just fine. Also, you can get a silicon "sleeve" to protect the bottle if you are going outside. (Toy's R Us carries them here, but otherwise, just google.) Evenflo makes great glass bottles that are really inexpensive. (I think they were like $2.00 a piece, for a 250mL bottle.)
I'd definitely recommend the glass - why take the chance? The bottles are cheaper anyways.

I was going to suggest MAM as well. We use them.

Most bottles are [7] because that is polycarbonate plastic - and it stays very clear and is less likely to became hazy or cloudy when washed/sterilised repeatedly.

I loved the avent bottles but they arent coming out with BPA free bottles till next year.Just have to get glass i spose. It is great to see that more places are stocking the glass ones now. I have found them in the chemist, baby shop, target and big w here but yet last time i was preg i couldnt find them anywhere at all.

I use the Nuk plastic bottles and there's a big fat 7 on them. Has anyone ever used the Nuk wide neck teats on any other bottle? My DD#2 won't take any other bottle so its not a case of just changing to a different bottle.
