About Me

As I began breast pumping for my last baby, Gabrielle, I searched the internet for information about pumping, breast milk supply, and many other issues related to feeding my baby girl healthy breast milk. Though I found much of the information that I was seeking, I had to search over several websites with differing information. I decided there needed to be a central location to help moms get the necessary information that they needed for breast pumping and feeding their baby. Over the past few years, I received numerous emails and questions from moms and have added to the list of frequently asked questions and articles. This website is an on-going passion that I have to help mothers and hope that we can help many mommies searching for that golden nugget to help them through this exciting, exhausting, and sometimes confusing time in their life.

Bisphenol A (BPA) Alternatives

Until there is a ban on Bisphenol A (BPA), the best alternative is to avoid food and beverage containers that contain the chemical. Use glass or stainless steel refillable drinking bottles, instead of hard plastic ones. For juice or other drinks, it's best to use lined aluminum bottles. Stainless steel bottles are great for water.

For BPA free baby bottles, choose glass or look for companies that make hard plastic bottles without Bisphenol A (BPA), like the Adiri Nurser baby bottles. These are available at our on-line store, at health food stores, organic markets, and some baby stores. BPA free sippy cups can be found in many of the same stores.

To be Bisphenol A (BPA) free, try to avoid eating canned food when you can. Instead of canned vegetables or fruits, choose fresh or frozen ones (they're healthier for you that way, too!). You can also buy many different kinds of soups and beans in reusable glass jars. And, instead of buying soft drinks in cans, choose glass bottles.

Those most affected by Bisphenol A (BPA) are fetuses, infants and children around puberty. Fetuses are especially sensitive groups as their immature detoxification systems make them more vulnerable and they are at a delicate stage of development.

It seems that Bisphenol A (BPA) is everywhere. Tomorrow we will discuss more ways to minimize exposure.
