Feeding bottles don't suck anymore - enter 'Green-to-Grow'

Over the past few years there's been a growing controversy over the safety and health aspects of feeding bottles (see related article "Fed up with toxic baby bottles"). Fortunately someone has done something about it and developed a product that is made of lead free and BPA free plastic. Up until now the only alternative to conventional feeding bottles (which usually contain phthalates, bisphenol A, lead or PVC) was to use glass. Obviously glass bottles and babies / toddlers can be tricky combination (check out "Toddlers and a broken glass incident"). So having a plastic bottle without chemicals that are suspected of hormone disrupting effects sounds like a great option to conventional bottles.

Another aspect of the green to grow bottles I really liked was the fact that there are many different types of teats / nipples that can be used for these bottles (see "Bottle feeding teats suck" about frustrations around teats that don't fit a baby's mouth). If you are experiencing feeding difficulties you may want to experiment with different teets which can make all the difference for your little champ.

Enjoy
