Switch to baby bottles that don't contain a suspected carcinogen

Last month's "how the hell didn't I know that" moment was the discovery that Avent bottles, which both of my children have been drinking from daily for just about their entire lives, contain a suspected carcinogen.

I came across this info not through a consumer alert -- that went out in 1999, before I was a parent and paid attention to these things -- but because I set out to investigate the rumour I'd heard that plastic wasn't safe for food storage.
