I wouldn't say I am the most earth conscious person, but I do get concerned about exposing my children to toxins and all other undesirables. I have recently committed myself to using only eco-friendly cleaning products and am happy to report that diluted vinegar and baking soda can clean almost anything, and typically better than their asphyxiating counterparts. I have also worked hard to incorporate greener habits in doing dishes and laundry. I figure, as they say, every little bit counts. That being said, I still have concerns.
Sam, who's only four months old, is still taking a bottle of expressed milk when I'm away and I'm worried about the plastic bottles I'm using.
I was just reading on a fellow bloggers page, http://notquitecrunchyparent.blogspot.com/2008/05/safety-in-numbers-which-types-of.html that these bottles place a risk of our vulnurable infants ingesting chemicals which may lead to disease. I guess what I'm most interested in at this point is where I can obtain glass bottles as well as more information about what else I can do to make sure my children are protected.
I'm ashamed that we've become so concerned with a cheap product that we risk our health for it.
