Go Green or Bust? When to Buy Organic

Baby Bottles

Verdict: Go green

Babies and young children, with their rapidly growing brains and other organs, are more susceptible to the nasty health effects of BPA. Thankfully, most baby bottles, plastic toys, and pacifiers from reputable manufacturers are now BPA-free. Look for the packaging to explicitly say "BPA-free," or for the recycling labels #1, #2, or #4 on the bottom (avoid #7, which may contain BPA).
