Look. In 1970, over 75% of kids in the US were never breastfed, which means they drank milk from BPA containing bottles from day 1. And they turned out fine. Don't get unreasonably worried about it. That white collar job with a lot of sitting that you're hoping he or she will get will do much worse things to the body. And if you're driving your kid around in the burbs, well BPA is in the noise compared to that staggering risk. Leading cause of death for kids 2-25. I have a two year old daughter who drinks out of clear plastic bottles and sleeps on a mattress containing fire retardant chemicals, and at the end of the day by far the biggest risk I expose her to is driving down to her grandparents' on the weekend.
