Or else your kid ends up drinking soap water. Not cool. The water tastes fine if you don’t leave too much soapy residue from the handwashing. Or else your kid ends up drinking soap water. Not cool.

Just found this and I know it's tough to make a move like that. We've still got the plastic playtex cups but I wash them all by hand like a crazy person. Loooove the sigg bottles for the diaper bag though. I just took off the caps - they stay twisted shut just fine and the water tastes DEElicious. Good for you!

We were die hard Avent people the first time and I have to say it is almost hard to leave them as we loved them so much. But I will! No BPA for us, so it is interesting to hear everyones opinions on the options that are available before we actually have to choose. What gets me is my SIL, who is about to have her second any day, is continuing to use them! This is a woman with a PhD in Pharmacology, and doesn't want the expense of replacing her stuff and thinks it is all hype! I can't believe it, okay mini-rant over, sorry :) We are past the sippy cup stage, my daughter is 3.5 now.

My issue with it is milk- the container gets so cold! I agree re: Sigg tops, but you can find the flip top “active” tops that seem to work a lot better- the lid is not floppy.

Replaced it with a (slightly less expensive) kleen kanteen, but still... hold on tight. I was right pissed when I (or I should say, my sister) lost my sigg bottle.

First of all, they cost like a million dollars so when we lose one (which we seem to do at least monthly), I am bummed about it. Also, the flip-top thing is always in my son's face.

That being said, I'm not 100% thrilled with them. I recently read of list of safe plastics and my kids Playtex Sippy cups were on there. Also, I've read that for non-safe ones, the risk level depends on how worn out they are ie cracks etc. I'll see if I can find you the list and forward it. Basically, if I were to have another baby, I would go ahead and get the new BPA free Dr. Brown's bottles that they're making, but I'm not loosing sleep over using regular bottles bottles with my two sons particularly since both of them used brand-new bottles.

What about those plastic disposable sippy cups... you know the kind that come in four packs? Are they bad too? I am so out of the loop on this one.

This site has a lot of info I am sure you have seen it but I will link it anyway, one weird jewish mother to another =) http://zrecs.blogspot.com/2008/02/z-report-on-bpa-in-infant-care-products.html plus you can test them while you are at the store and they will let you know if the product is a good one or not.
