Call to Action: BPA Exposure in Infants and Children

We're asking you to get involved with spreading the word about BPA exposure in bottles and sippy cups. Many parents are not aware of these studies and might decide to make a change in what they are using if they knew about the *dangers of BPA, particularly to infants and children.

1) Spread the word: Write a post -- or just include a link to Cristina's post regarding the conference call on your blog. Post something on your message boards. Send an email to your address book. Let people know!

2) Buy safe products: Safemama has several cheatsheets that provide safe alternatives for bottles, sippy cups, binkies, and teethers. You can also find several options at Cool Mom Picks and Green Mom Finds. Look for products that are PVC, Pthalate, and BPA free.

3) Sign a petition: We've found a petition that calls for immediate moratorium on the use of BPA in baby bottles. Click here for a petition for Canadians.

4) Talk to your local baby stores: Ask them to carry BPA-free products.

*It's important to note that BPA is used in all canned goods as well.

We'll be announcing the winners of NoMeatPo Week in the next few days. And make sure to start working your magic with those plastic bags!

I love the Born Free bottle with sippy cup converter. It was a relative bargain to get the two-for.
