Product Spotlight: Lifefactory Bottle System
Finally, it seems we have an eco-friendly way of transitioning glass baby bottles from newborn to toddlers. Lifefactory has recently introduced sippy cup caps to their assortment of bpa-free glass baby bottles. The sippy cup caps allow those wonderful lifefactory bottles to be reused rather than stored or tossed.
Lifefactory glass baby bottles come in 4oz and 9 oz sizes. Each has a medical grade silicone plastic sleeve which allows for a better bottle grasp and helps prevent breakage. A rainbow of fun fashion colors are available: pink, raspberry, orange, yellow, ocean, spring green, lavender, and royal purple! As a side note, I happen to love my adult beverage bottle in 22 oz size. We are testing sky blue color in our store for a limited time.
As baby grows and develops, pop on a sippy cup cap. A solid cap is also available allowing the bottles to store snacks or liquids.
All Lifefactory products are made from non-toxic materials that are independently certified to be free of BPA, phthalates, PVC, polycarbonate, lead and latex. The bottles are also dishwasher safe.
We also carry add-on pieces to the line - Nipples in Stage 1, 2, 3 and Y cut along with multi-sensory teethers.

Toxic Chemicals Lobby: Exclusive Leaked Footage
What a video! Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families coalition created this message. The cartoon keeps a serious issue interesting. Do you know what is in your home?
Time for a Plastics Intervention
We have all heard by now the dangers of bisphenol-A (BPA) in plastics. Essentially, BPA is a chemical which mimics estrogen potentially causing hormone disruption. This is especially damaging in young children during development. New York and California are both close to passing a law banning BPA in food and drink containers for young children. Vermont, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Washington, Maryland, Minnesota, and the city of Chicago are also on board. A huge win for our children.
I'll admit, it isn't easy keeping track of all the do's and dont's regarding health and food safety these days. I need to be reminded of the rules every once in awhile. If you do too, here are a few basic tips to keep products with BPA at bay.
Plastics - Stick to those numbered 1, 2, 4 & 5. Toss any marked 3 & 6. Also throw out any marked 7 - unless they specifically state "Bpa-free". A great alternative is to buy reusable water bottles. Lifefactory is just one brand that has a great selection to choose from. Their glass bottles come with fashion color silicone sleeves which not only look neat, but allow a better grip on the bottle. Lifefactory makes baby bottles too!
Don't microwave food in plastic containers. Also, avoid serving heated food in plastic containers. The hormones can leach into plastic that is hot and wet. Glass is a great alternative.
When reusing plastic, wash by hand rather than using the dishwasher. Heat from the dishwasher can cause chemicals to seep out.
Hope these little tips help keep your family safe and free of BPA products.
