I store the water (I buy bottled water) at room temperature and I just mix the formula to that. I just stopped heating my son’s bottles.

I just don't heat the bottles with formula in it. However, I do microwave the bottles to sterilize them. Hopefully that's not a no-no. April I do the same as Johnny’s Mom.

Check with the place you bought the bottles from. I know there is a few companies who are refunding customers.

It's used in polyesters, fungicides, epoxies and polycarbonate plastics. You only need to worry about Plastics numbers 3 and 7. Many baby bottles made from plastic number 5 are on the market for relatively cheap. Look in the recycle sign, there is a number 1-7. Edit: BPA bottles have been banned in Canada and the US FDA is showing signs of following suit in the next few months. They can get BPA from so manythings.

BPA is a chemical that leaches into the formula/milk or what ever liquid used. When the liquid used is warm BPA leaches at a much higher rate. You don't have to microwave the plastic, just by putting warm / hot liquid will cause the BPA to leach out faster. Even cold liquids will cause the BPA to enter into the liquid. My advice is to send them back to DR. Browns... Us the glass Dr. Brown's bottles they are safe. I am sorry to say that what you are doing is not safe.

It's been found that the BPA is released even when washing the bottles, allowing it to leach into foods/liquids. I bought the "Playtex drop-ins nursers" which are BPA free, it's $10 for 3 bottles and $6 for 100 liners, which is alot cheaper than those special "BPA free" bottles. Also be aware that BPA is actually and INGREDIENT in some infant formulas, and the highest toxicity levels of BPA have been found in formula fed infants using BPA bottles. Don't break the bank buying all new stuff if you can't afford it, the risk is still considered relatively small and BPA in bottles has not yet been condemned by the FDA (although is has already been banned in Canada and Europe I believe). this site gives a list of some of the BPA free products out there, (some, like the playtex nursers, are pretty cheap, some are much more expensive)http://safemama.com/2007/11/22/bpa-free-… actually that whole ,”BPA is only dangerous when the container is heated” is outdated information.

You won't have to buy 10 bottles, just a couple, keep a clean container with warm soapy water in the sink, rinse it after use and drop it in there, it will make your life easier and you'll have always an almost ready to use bottle handy.
