Green to Grow Baby Bottles

Yes, we admit we were first drawn to the cute Shinzi Katoh-esque happy fruit faces on these bottles, but then we happily learned they were both bisphenol-A and phthalate-free...

Green to Grow was founded by husband and wife team, Michael and Shelley Ritterbrown: Our decision to launch Green to Grow with a line of bisphenol A-free plastic baby bottles grew from our alarm as we read reports that highlighted the potential dangers presented by polycarbonate plastic, which contains the hormone disruptor bisphenol A which can cause neurological, developmental, and reproductive toxins, and from our frustration over the lack of options.

Green to Grow bottles are available in two sizes, 5 & 10 oz., and two neck sizes, regular and wide, and range in price between $7.50 and $10.50. They're made from P.E.S. plastic which gives them a slightly golden hue and are spot-tested for safety in the U.S.

I just bought some of these bottles and my daughter really likes them. Safe and stylish. It's a nice combo. Also, the website has a lot of really great information on it about BPA and other plastic issues.

Just posted about it on my blog and bought some last night... we use glass, but were looking for some good travel bottles. We have some born free, but they are the 9oz size, and we wanted something smaller for our newborn.

Thanks for the head's up!

wow, this looks great! i definitely want to get some to try out. does anyone know what the difference is between the wide and normal sizes, and why you would choose one or the other?

plastic? No thanks!

Glass bottles are safer.

Cirone,
I am pretty sure wide mouth versus normal is a preference of the baby. Depends on their latch, etc. My daughter was born early and she could never get a hang of the wide options since her jaw was not really ready for prime time.

We used these with Second Nature nipples (wide mouth). Nice bottles and dishwasher safe. They work with many different nipples which is why they come in wide and narrow neck sizes.

(Note that my lactation consultant said there their "slow" flow is quite fast.)
