Today’s Urban Baby hypes “safe sippers”…
As I’ve mentioned, since we had our first kiddo back in 2005 a lot has changed…or at least we’ve decided to make a few changes that feel like alot. I couldn’t turn a blind eye to all of the stuff I’ve been reading. One the one hand, the old justification “Our parents smoked and drank while pregnant with us, we stood in front of the microwaves, we used baby oil and tin foil for a fast tan and we’re okay!” can work. On the other hand, if we have access to the info and we have an opportunity, why not get rid of some of those phathalate (face it, it is fun to say) carrying objects in our lives, in the lives of our newborns in particular.
So about 8 weeks we got rid of the zillion Avent bottles we amassed last time around and invested in two Born Free bottles. We also were gifted a few glass bottles which we’re using to store milk (also all of the Medela containers are PVC free). We got silicone only binkies too.
Now what should we do next? Get rid of all of the plastic forks and spoons and plates and cups that our older child uses? Is the risk that she’ll break our dishes worth the change? I’d imagine it is.
