I have written extensively about BPA or Bisphenol A on this blog. It is a hormone mimicking chemical that can be found in some plastic types. It is most commonly found in baby bottles, water bottles, kids feeding items (cups, plates, bowls, utensils) toys, etc. Today I saw an investigative journalism report from Fast Company that takes the BPA issue and really tells it like it. They accuse plastics manufacturers and chemical companies that make BPA of using the same tactics used by Big … [Read more...]
Intak Water Bottle by Thermos
I have always had a favorite water bottle and his name is Mr. Klean Kanteen. But step aside Klean because you may have been replaced.

BPA free, safe plastic but … [Read more...]

Q: I think you may be past the point of needing infant formula, but do you have any strong feelings towards any of … [Read more...]
Breastfeeding Is Green – Tips Too
World Breastfeeding Week is coming in August. The goal is too bring awareness to breastfeeding which in actuality seems kinda silly to me. Moms have two feeding implements on their chest at all times and we have to have a national awareness week to make them aware of what they are for?? Hmmm. With the advent of baby bottles and formula feeding it seems breastfeeding has taken a back seat but there are probably hundreds of reasons why it should get the attention it deserves. I truly believe that … [Read more...]
