BPA in bottles etc ANOTHER thing to worry about

[PCM]

When searching for a Dr Browns steriliser on the internet I came across all this information on BPA in babys bottles (Bisphenol A a material in plastic) and some American sites mentioned it being in formula tins. I have been so worried since I phoned dr Browns and they said it is in their bottles but at a safe level and nothing would be on the shelves that was not safe and Aptamil assured me that also no issue with formula. I have found botles made by MAM that are BPA free however they are quite cheap which also makes me worry!!! Should I change to BPA free bottles dd is 14 weeks old and I stopped breast feeding 2 weeks ago used dr browns hoping the transition would be easier - going well - would be grateful to hear if anyone else worried or for someone to tell me I am worrying unnecessarily.

There has been several threads about it in the past . I for one do not believe what is said about there being no long term effects and I prefer to use non BPA products and I do not heat anything in them - sippy cups and when I used bottles I swapped to non BPA. Also for the tack plates / cups disney characters etc I never cut food one them and wash by hand. Try telling a 2 yr ols that the food is just as nice on a plain plate as A princess one.

I live in Italy so the makes are a bit different. My dd still drinks from a bottle ( 2.8) but I heat the milk in a glass jug in the microwave. I used to do the bottles the same way. Heat the water in a glass jug in the microwave and then put in bottle. I use a cold water steriliser ( I have a second dd 12 weeks) She is bf at the moment but I will be using the same bottles and I might invest in some MAM ones when am in the Uk as they are cheaper.
If you go on the BPA site I am sure that there are links to products that are BPA free .
