Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Simple guidelines for avoiding dangerous plastics: Avoid using plastic containers in the microwave - unsafe chemicals are released when plastics are heated. Avoid dishwashing all plastics – hand wash with a mild soap instead. Avoid use of polycarbonate and polystyrene (#3 and #6) baby bottles and sippy cups. Replace vinyl chew toys made of soft plastic - If you see “V” or “3”, it’s PVC - don’t buy it. Use wooden, cloth, and metal toys or books. Be cautious of cling wraps, especially for microwave use - Use waxed paper or paper towels instead. Look – be aware of plastic products in your child’s surroundings – squeeze toys, rattles, bath toys, cribs, teethers, pacifiers, high chairs, sippy cups, and baby bottles. Use alternatives to plastic whenever possible: Instead use glass, ceramic (lead free), and stainless steel. Choose safer plastics - polyethylene (#1, #2, and #4) and polypropylene (#5) –which require the use of less toxic additives and are non-chlorinated – are safer plastics that are pliable, milky colored plastic, and are a better choice for baby bottle nipples.
