How to Find Safer Sippy Cups

 

Concerned parents wanting to decrease their childrens' use of toxic plastic are faced with never ending shelves of sippy cups made with unknown materials.

Surely you can just turn the box over and read the label to find out what the sippy cup is made of, right? If only it were that easy! Manufacturers are not required to label their products, so that leaves parents wondering what to do next.

Hopefully I can help . . .

NEWLY UPDATED 9/13/08

Bisphenol-a

has been shown in studies to be toxic, especially in children

What is Polycarbonate Plastic? 

Polycarbonate plastic is made using bisphenol-a (BPA), an industrial chemical used in the manufacture of over 90% of major baby bottle and sippy cup brands. Environmental scientists have labeled BPA as an endocrine disruptor. Studies show that the unstable BPA bond will allow the chemical to leach into food or beverages in contact with the plastic during normal, everyday use.

Learn more about BPA here.

The Following Cups are BPA, PVC and Phthalate Free

This list is not comprehensive - but never fear, the list will grow as I find more great alternatives.

My daughter will only drink from a straw and BPA-free straw sippy cups are few and far between. The Nuby is OK but it leaks a lot. Her favorite, though not exactly a sippy cup, is the new BPA-free Camelbak Better Bottle with Bite Valve. She is able to work the bite valve with no problem and likes it more than any cup we've tried...

Great page. I love the dads thing! Nuby sippy cups are my family's favorite and they have plenty of BPA free cups. I built a lens specifically about the BPA free Nuby sippy cups too. Parents really should give them a try. Thanks!

Thank you for your research! I just bought my baby the Nuby sippy cup and he took to it very well. My older kids have the Foogo and they love it!! Staying healthy is important!

About AliciaVoorhies

I'm a recently retired RN Mommy who happens to enjoy medical research, especially related to raising healthy children in a toxic world.

I became aware of the dangers caused by chemicals in plastic last year. As I began searching for safe feeding gear, I realized how limited the information was and how few options were available. What started as a growing awareness of toxic plastics, became a mission to care for my own children and newborn nephews. A highly motivated search team grew out of my concerned family members and now we work together to find the highest quality non-toxic baby care products.
