With all of the concern about chemicals in bottles and other infant feeding things I thought I would post a link to a site that has a nice set of lists and information on BPA free feeding products. We're switching because every small step for our child's health is important. Go here to see this list.
Also, I found The Soft Landing to have a large selection of healthy products, feeding included, for baby.

Hey!
This message is part info-bite and part shameless plug for my store, Free Market Organics,
http://www.freemarketorganics.com
which was primarily started to offer people a safe place to shop where they needn't read labels or stress out. Everything has been researched and screened beyond the FDA's wildest dreams.
First off, I have read that Eden Foods and Trader Joe's no longer line their cans with BPA. While it is ofcourse better to source your food locally and fresh and freeze or can it, once in a while we like to save a little time so lucky for us, there are two brand options. If you would like to find a local farm or coop in your area that can offer your local organic produce check out Local Harvest:

Secondly, I care deeply about all of this stuff and have heavily researched BPA. I called Dr. Fredrick Vom Saal, the scientist who discovered the issues with BPA and phthalates after reading his 1997 interview on PBS Frontline.

Dow Corning and other oil/chemical/plastic giants have a lot of clout with the FDA. But I say- lets not dwell on that. There is no time to be afraid or angry or to feel guilty for using Polycarbonate bottles, and this is coming from me, who lost my mother and paternal grandmother from non-genetic breast cancer and from one who has a little girl.
Lets just not support the use of BPA to the best of our ability. Let's vote with our dollar. Let's buy safe and rightous goods for our families and we will in turn do good by our neighbors, our producers and our environment. It is the only way to turn most politicians and the FDA and to minimize the voice of the unethical giants.
This is why I opened my store, Free Market Organics: to get in the game. To open a one-stop shop for people wanting to buy the safest goods on the market that sit closest to their skin and food, with out stressing out about what is safe and what is not. I also work with people's budget to help them get what they need.

Lastly, avoid any water bottle or sippy that is lined with secret propriatary ingredients. Sigg for instance - is lined with epoxy. One ingredient in epoxy is Bisphenol A. They won't tell you this but they will tell you they test for leaching BPA, but they don't test for it properly. IF they did, I'd be carrying their bottle and getting rico with everyone else.
Remember- alot of this good stuff can be found cheap at estate sales!
