They broke all the time and at the time I was using them I could not find any replacement nipples our spouts you had to buy a new bottle. This was a little over a year ago since I used them, but even now I don't see replacements in stores. I never used born free so I can't comment on them.

I can not even tell you how much money I threw away and how stocking it still is knowing that these toxic chemicals were and are found in baby bottles, teethers, toys, etc. I am thankful that all my Medela items have always been safe. We need to purchase from companies that have children's safety as a priority and who's manufacturing policies are held in the highest regard for safety and accountability.

I have frequently heard that nearly all glass from Mexico is tainted with lead, and I am wondering how often Evenflo checks their product to make sure it hasn't gotten tainted? I would be very comforted to know that they check it regularly. I'm not assuming that they are doing anything wrong, but that when your production is out of country, things can go wrong without it being known.

Even though the Born Free sippy is BPA Free, plastic just scares me. The fact that my son is 2 and soon will be learning how to drink out of normal glass kind of made it seem like I'm spending money on something he's only going to use for a short time! So I solved this problem by purchasing the 18 oz Kleen Kanteen water bottle and put the sippy spouts on them. So now when he's done with the sippy it will become a good water bottle! All the caps for the Kleen Kanteen water bottle, fit any size!!! I think this is the most usefull choice becasue it will grow with your child!!!!

In fact, since she started using them she even drinks more and burps less. They aren't glass, but I haven't had an easy time finding glass ones. They are also comparable in price to Dr. Brown's.

I had received Avent bottles at my baby shower and then I started reading about the BPA additives and found that Avent was one of the manufacturers who had BPA in their bottles. So, I returned those bottles and bought the Mam ones and I absolutely love them. My baby was a preemie and she used the 5 oz bottles from birth until she was 5 mos and just switched to the 9 oz. These bottles are wonderful and we have never had any issues. Not to mention, the colors are beautiful too. I have purple, pink, yellow, blue and green. These are only sold online at retailers like target and walmart, but i hope to see them in stores soon also. These are a less expensive alternative to the Born Free bottles.

I don't know why they don't sell them in the US! I picked up some when I was there visiting relatives, and they work really well. I know that for some babies, it's hard to switch bottle types once they are used to something. Nuk actually makes glass baby bottles, which are sold in every drugstore in Germany.

I saw on the manufacturer's website that these bottles would be available in May but looks like with all the bad press about BPA recently, they decided to introduce the BPA free ones sooner than expected.

One of the primary reasons for this is that so many of the plastic bottles on the market contain BPA or Bisphenol A. Basically it is an estrogen-like chemical used to make plastic but it is actually one of the last things we want to expose our children too. It can speed up puberty and add to weight gain, and may cause changes that can lead to breast and prostate cancer. Other studies have shown that is may cause brain damage, abnormal organ development, and hyperactivity. Not only is BPA itself bad news, but it is popping up everywhere from baby bottles to baby toys to formula cans. While the amount of BPA in each individual product might be considered to small to be unsafe (yeah right) the cumulative exposure from all the different sources can be significant.
