Dr Brown bottles

Are Dr Brown bottles safe in terms of Bisphenol-A ?

I think glass baby bottles are going to make a comeback.
I never heat milk up in any plastic containers for this reason - always use glass - but baby happily sucks away from the plastic bottle and silicon teat. Hard to avoid this really

no - used to be, but aren't any more. BFree ones are similar and are safe: www.babybfree.com/, hard to find in shops.

Scary scary scary! Please have a look at this page (German Federal institute for risk assessment, I always trust Germans than Americans), especially the last paragraph. I don't want to hear in a couple of years that the other materials used in B-free bottles are actually worse than PC.

Am I being too obsessive and is this my paranoia? I searched on the internet and saw lots of pages mentioning about this harmful material, polycarbonate and its matabolite Bisphenole-A.
Every single day I am learning something I used or did that might have been harmful to my baby! That's enough! I am losing it...

Are the born free bottles standard wideneck or do they have a different top to them. Just wondering if they will go on my existing breast pump.
