A+ for the Adiri Natural Nurser Ultimate Baby Bottle

I recently got an email from the folks at Adiri asking if I was interested in their AdiriTM Natural NurserTM Ultimate Baby Bottle. I had been wanting to check it out so I was very glad to here from them. They were kind enough to send us one (they have 3 different stages white 0-3 mo, blue 3-6 mo & orange for 6+ mo) to try and we’re pretty impressed! The Adiri bottle gets a thumbs up from my both my mother-in-law, who has given milk to Madeleine in it, as well as the little one herself.

Here is a clip from the email they sent :

The AdiriTM Natural NurserTM Ultimate Baby Bottle is soft, safe and simple. With an easy to use and dishwasher safe Fill Twist and FeedTM system, the only nipple truly shaped like a mother’s breast, soft BPA-free and phthalate-free materials, and a unique Petal vent that helps reduce colic, the Adiri Natural Nurser enables the ultimate bottlefeeding experience.

Great news, right? So…if all of these major companies are making BPA free and phthalate free products, how can Gerber say that BPA isn’t a problem?

Haba Teething Toys…another BPA-free phthalate free option!

Haba teethers are another option if you are looking for a phthalate free BPA free teether. There are a number of high quality adorable options. Many of them are wood toys, which are finished with completely non-toxic, child-friendly substances.

Here is a quote from Haba about their materials….

We use primarily indigenous maple and beech wood and water-based paints for our toys. We also use fabric, felt, leather, cardboard and glass. The vast majority of the designers’ ideas are put into practice in our own workshops. From the cut-out to assembly our products are manufactured at the Bad Rodach site, where our workforce of some 500 specialists produces our wooden toys and furniture.

Plastic to avoid

You know about the numbers on the bottom of plastic containers, right? Here is just a quick refresher as to which numbers you are supposed to be avoiding…

AVOID: PVC (#3) polystyrene (#6) and polycarbonate (#7) These types contain additional chemicals and hormone disruptors…awesome, huh?

Research suggests that plastic containers with the #1, #2, #4 or #5 are better safer options which do not contain BPA.

Are all Sassy products BPA and phthalate free?

This was the question I ask the people at Sassy and this was the response I got….

Hello and thank you for visiting our website. All of our products are Phthalate free and all of our feeding items such as bowls, spoons, plates, snack cups, formula dispensers, MAM Bottles etc are BPA free. We have changed a number of our teethers/rattles to other alternatives and are still in the process of changing the remaining ones. If you have a few in question I would be happy to look those up for you. Thanks and have a great day!

Good to know, right? I thought they were all phthalate AND BPA free, but I guess that isn’t the case. I continued back and forth with Shannon a bit giving her names of teethers and asking where or not they were BPA free. I deleted those that had BPA (disappointingly including a very cute one called “monkey see monkey chew”) from my webstore. So…short story long….the Sassy teethers in my webstore are BPA and phthalate free!!
