[quote=Anonymous]OP -- same thing happened to me when I was forced to make baby food and buy bottles. I started questioning what I was serving my baby her food in. HF Coors is American made, lead-free (MANY name brands have lead! you would be surprised), cadium-free, meet California Prop 65. The dinnerware is a bit heavy, but it's very sturdy, as it's used in restaurants. Corelle and Crate and Barrell dishware contains lead. I have called and talked to their customer service dept. But they are FDA approved, as the US govt DOES allow some lead in dinnerware. Beware of highly colored, foreign-made dinnerware, esp from countries like Mexico and China. This is what I do -- all cookware is stainless steel made in the USA (altho I have heard cast iron is the best), NO non-stick cookware, as the coating contains harmful chemicals. We don't use any plastic to eat out of -- never microwave plastic. We use glass to drink out of (American made). Again, foreign made glass can have lead. I store baby food in glass containers (Innobaby) and breastmilk in glass bottles (that I can freeze -- Evenflo bottles). I serve my babyfood in stainless steel bowls -- ThinkBaby makes them and you can get them on Amazon. Also, make sure the stainless steel is food grade too. I also use small glass custard dishes to serve baby food. I have tried to rid plastic from my life b/c it's toxic, it contributes to our landfills and you can't heat food in it. I use stainless steel sippy cups and every now and then I use a plastic ThinkBaby sippy cup. If you use plastic make sure it's #5. #2, #4, and #5 plastics are the safest. Don't ever use #7 -- it contains BPA. [/quote]
