I think we ought to throw out the plastics with 3 or 7 and ps in recycle triangle. Soda cans, cans of soup and tuna? It's nuts. Manufacturers should have been held accountable and had testing done 40 years ago BEFORE putting these toxins on the market and holding our food!

I did not ask for permission I did it and told the parents later. I went to Costco which had several shelves of bpa free water bottles available and easy to see. I heard that glass infant bottles are on backorder and sold out in many stores in the nation. Good, it's a start. I will be rethinking my position on oraganic foods too. I think it just makes instinctual sense that the new idustrialized chemicals of this century are causing more asthma, cancer, autism, and so on....Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11213382229701873907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773373869463725905.post-23847483493456497552010-01-24T13:38:46.233-05:002010-01-24T13:38:46.233-05:00We threw out all the plastic dishes and bottles wi...We threw out all the plastic dishes and bottles with 3 and 7 on them. I think most nannies work for affluent families who can certainly afford to replace the plastic bottles. I also read to throw out cracked plastic and if you taste plastic throw it out.<br />great nanny from middleburg, vaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773373869463725905.post-8689026437404598482010-01-24T12:32:26.245-05:002010-01-24T12:32:26.245-05:00Thanks again for posting a great resource for nann...Thanks again for posting a great resource for nannies. I never visited Dr Greene's site and did today and it's great. Very helpful!<br /><br />I also think we must tell the busy parents about BPA. The parents I work for are much too busy to watch the news or read the paper. <br /><br />After you posted this Friday I've been researching myself and it's really important to tell the parents. <br /><br />But if they choose not to follow your advice to get too worked up. Still don't heat any plastics in microwave or dry in dishwasher. Heat milks and formulas outside of the baby bottle and add to bottle. These type things you can do regardless of the type of baby bottle the parents choose to use.<br /><br />Thanks as always for being a super resource of great info!<br /><br />Melanie, Household Manager<br />Originally from Los Alamos, New Mexico working in Rolling Hills, CaliforniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773373869463725905.post-45603808336267611442010-01-24T11:10:36.618-05:002010-01-24T11:10:36.618-05:00Hi,

I think it is our duty to be advocates for our children and educate our parents for their children's sake. At the same time we have no right to tell a Parent how to raise their child, because when it all comes down to it is there child and not ours. I think we could only suggest making a change or even offer to purchase some bottles that are BP free in hopes to reach a middle ground. Now as a nanny for my families I have been given permission throw things out that are worn etc... So if I come across a sippy cup/bottle that may have a little scratch in it I will toss and since I do some of the shopping for the children I just would buy BP free products.Shaun S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06818452705287891990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773373869463725905.post-47812614454838091572010-01-24T09:50:20.441-05:002010-01-24T09:50:20.441-05:00I disagree with Baby Nurse from Raleigh.

A few days ago a parent "blessed her great nanny" for telling her about the new study of BPA dangers.
