I've been searching for answers to your questions on the emerging news about possible hazards in baby bottles and other containers from bisphenol-A. Here are a few resources for learning more:
--The Environmental Working Group has a guide to safe feeding for babies, including how to spot a bottle with BPA. In general, it says, avoid hard, plastic bottles labeled "7" or "PC."
--Julie's Health Club, a blog by a Chicago Tribune health writer who's also a mom, has a number of posts and links about this subject, including info about a new kind of bottle that is no. 7 plastic but is BPA-free.
--The Washington Post reports today that Wal-Mart will pull bottles and other products with BPA from its shelves in the U.S. soon.
