It’s the next generation of cheat sheets! The BPA Free Sippy Cup cheat sheet was one of my very first cheat sheets. As we’ve all grown and learned more, the more I think it’s important to try and avoid plastic altogether when we can. Sure, there is BPA-free plastic, and that’s better. But plastic can still leach chemicals into fluids and foods, and using non-leaching materials, such as stainless steel, glass, ceramic, and bamboo is better. I decided it was time to move past plastic on SafeMama.com and show you there are a ton of great plastic-less options. Not everything on this list is completely plastic free, but the portion that comes in contact with your fluids is. As usual not a comprehensive list, so please email me suggestions for inclusion.
Glass & Stainless Sippy Cups
I’ve used several of these brands, and with sippy cups, it really comes down to personal preference. For us, we primarily use 12oz Klean Kanteens (one with a sports cap and one with a sippy adapter). They seem to be the best for us. But I also love the Thermos Foogo Straw Bottles too and use one in my son’s lunchbox. Insulated vs. non-insulated is something you have to think about. Klein Kanteens are not (aside from their new insulated ones). I use these adorable Cocoozy’s for out and about, and they fit perfectly. Many neoprene sleeves and other jackets also fit both bottles and sippy’s.

Glass & Stainless Baby Bottle Brands
Of course, plastic bottle options are available on the market, and many are created with BPA-free plastic. Some companies I trust more than others, like ThinkBaby and BornFree, have been BPA-free intentionally from the get-go. These are great safer options too. My objective here is to highlight some alternatives to plastic for bottle feeding. Before anyone gets in a twist, I am a supporter of breastfeeding and think it’s an important choice. I am also, however, a supporter in allowing mothers to make the choices that are right for them, regardless of what I would do. Everyone has the right to mother their children as they see fit. I refuse to judge on this issue. So without further adieu…
