I just ran across this article and thought it would be a great follow up on bottled water since I know the issue of re-using plastic bottles came up a couple of times.

I evidently need to get rid of most of our sippy cups since there are a ton of bite marks on them!

Wow- a great reminder that I need to pitch a lot of what I have, too.

There are "safe" water bottles out there that are reuseable if you were to want to use them??? Naglen makes a "food grade" hard plastic one that is great, and you dont taste the plastic, and it does not leach to the water, cause cancer etc... Also there are good kid sippy cups also, SIGG makes one, and Klean Kanteen makes one, and there is another sippy cup that is made of out "better" plastic called Born Free or The Bunny Nest, both are good sippies and safer to use for kiddies, But I would spend the money and get a SIGG or KK cause you can change the spouts out as the child grows and they can use it for a life time! We use our all the time, just get water from the filtered tap water, and that saves time money, and space...

I've never seen them at Wal Mart or Target for that matter, most Naglens are at sporting good stores though I found one at Goodwill one time! I paid like $0.35!

Here's a website for Klean Kanteen. I've never seen them anywhere and only recently heard of them. Klean Kanteen :: 12 oz Stainless Steel Sippy Bottle

And here is a website that was passed along to my by a friend for glass baby bottles that I thought might be useful as well. 6 Pk Classic Real Glass Baby Bottles by Evenflo

Wow - I need to educate myself more and get rid of some stuff.
