Read our Toxic Nation Guide to Toxic Baby Bottles for more details on toxic baby bottles. If you know other companies that are switching to bisphenol A-free bottles, let us know!

Also, bottles should not be subjected to high temperatures; instead wash them in the sink with warm water and soap and let them air dry. Do not microwave your plastic bottles because this unevenly heats the plastic and can cause chemicals to leach from the bottles. Warm bottles in a pan of hot water instead.

There is also a great blog called Z Recommends where you can get in depth reviews of all major baby bottles brands available in North America.
