bisphenol a free cups and bowls

[luvaduck]

title says it all really
MAM and medela do the bottles

but just checked all our cups and bowls are made of the bloody stuff as well

this is a good link about safe plastics

we've got the annabel karmel range - its all got no 7 on the bottom

anyone know of any safe cups and bowls???
TIA

anyone?

anything to stop you using normal crockery?

besides, & doesn't mean 'contains BPA', it means 'other plastic' which may or may not contain BPA.

And Avent Magic cups are on their 'safe' list.

sorry,t hat should be: '7' doesn't meant 'contains BPA'

i know but it doesn't say what it is so it could do...
we use normal crockery at home but is a bit of PITA when out and about - hard to find ones with lids etc
also normal steel cutlery too hard!

will try a magic cup thanks for that

(ps why the sceptical face???)

Ikea's stuff is made from no 5. and v. cheap.

also use tupperware when out and about. if you are like me and don't mind cheap and functional, Asda has a whole range of plastic containers from the dinkiest sizes which are all no. 5.

sorry for the scepticism - I just don't subscribe to a) the belief that you need to carry plastic pots everywhere or b) the hysteria re BPA - as far as I can see the greatest risk is from heating food in plastic. If we're out dd will either have cold snacks from a plastic box or bag, or hot food off my plate.

These might help though, or you coul dkeep old glass babyfood jars.

thanks for that they are both exactly what we were looking for. haven't bought any jars but good idea
didn't say we need plastic cups and bowls just safe ones!
also think there is waaaaay too much plastic in the world, but haven't seen a non plastic baby cup yet? (ds is bf but trying to slowly introduce a beaker)

is it hysteria? who knows? increasingly evidence shows it probably does something and while we wait for definite proof why risk it

food for thought

how old is dd? the old-fashioned mugs with two handles are pretty good once they're past the flinging-it-at-the-wall stage, and dirt cheap on ebay.
Those wide shallow rimmed bowls thus of the same era are great too as they're simply too heavy for a baby to pick up and chuck (lots of cheaper ones on ebay, that just had a good pic of the shape).
