Yeah, I read the Playtex Drop ins were okay as well and Thats what I used 2 years age with Blakey and they are so easy...........and much cheaper!!! Formula cost enough( not that our babies aren't worth it, cause they are) but it leaves me more $$$ for those cute little outfits...

Safe Baby Bottle Alternatives

Fortunately, there are alternatives to polycarbonate plastic baby bottles.

First, learn to identify polycarbonate plastic containers. They are generally clear and rigid, and may have the recycling symbol 7 marked on the bottom.

Here are a few tips for choosing bottles and using them safely:

    * Select bottles made of tempered glass or polyethylene or polypropylene (recycling symbols 1, 2 or 5). Medela and Evenflo make bottles and nursers from these safer plastics. Evenflo also makes tempered glass bottles. The
    * Avoid heating breast milk and infant formula over the stove or microwave in plastic; dangerous chemicals are more likely to leach when you heat in plastic.
    * To avoid bacteria, look for scratches in plastic bottles.
    * Avoid plastic bottles that have decorations printed on the inside. These can come off into formula when it’s been heated.
    * To avoid shards of glass ending up inside the bottle, glass bottles with cracks and chips should be discarded immediately.
    * Avoid disposable nursers if possible, as the plastic bags that may leak or burst. There have also been incidents of babies choking on the plastic tab inside.

I looked at the born free even bought some, but I took them back. At $ 9.00 a bottle I couldn't believe it. I am going to use the playtex drop in and mix as I need so nothing has to be heated.
