BPA-free - a list by designdude

Options for This Page

About this list:

BPA, short for Bisphenol A, is an organic compound found in many plastics, particularly Polycarbonate, a clear material common in baby bottles. Studies of BPA have shown it to mimic estrogen, and exposure is thought to possibly result in early puberty for girls. That's the short version, but you may want to keep an eye on how much of this material your child is exposed to, and complete avoidance is not a bad option. Fortunately, those kinds of lifestyle choices are getting easier to come by.

Qualifications:

My wife reads a healthy mix of baby blogs and medical blogs.

Description

Summer's coming, and if you're serving ice cream to your kids, they're going to be maniacs. They may as well be as tidy as possible about it, which is where the Dripstick comes in. Set a popsicle stick or ice cream cone in this BPA-free gadget and watch the mess collect within instead of all over junior's hands.
