Has anyone else looked at the lawsuit for micro plastics with Phillips Avent and Dr. Brown’s bottles? The only bottle my daughter can use is Phillips avent with the anticolic insert… What bottles are y’all using? And are y’all concerned about this lawsuit?

I use Phillips anti colic also and I can't afford to buy any other bottles so it really sucks

Is this including the glass bottles? I use the avent naturals, but glass form. Same with Dr. Brown.

no! Just the plastics!

Please say this isn’t case!!

This is all my baby uses . If it’s not one thing its another 😩

If there's any consolation for anyone, the Dr. Brown anti colic glass bottles work better than plastic. My son was less colicky with those😅

@Emily this is so heart breaking. Nothing really is safe 😔

Have you found a way to get on the lawsuit?

At this point I’m starting to think nothing is safe…. :(

I have not! I just saw it on TikTok today and went to see if it was true!

So do we need to change the bottles our babies use now? I don't even know what else to go to😫

I'm pretty sure at this point in time we're all ingesting high levels of micro plastics unfortunately.
That being said, we've been transitioning her to the glass Avent bottles and we don't use bottle warmers anymore.

I use Dr brown but I was using both the plastic and glass now I’m just gonna use the glass version only

Okay, at first I freaked but then it made sense because all plastic releases microplastics

and
apparently even breast milk itself and baby formula has microplastics
Basically everything has microplastics, fruit, veg, eggs, tap water 🤷🏽♀️

I was panicking as I have only come to realise about microplastics yesterday. Literally only catching up to this phenomenon now. So I came across it because I realised bottled water has microplastics and I was really sad as I have been breastfeeding and o thought this is horrific for my baby! But then I have been reading studies and articles about it and I’ve realised we have microplastics in everything. Meat, vegan, organic, self grown food-all of it

I had my panic during pregnancy but realized there really isn't a way to avoid it. I do what I can to cut down the overall amount but there's micro plastics in literally everything nowadays.
That being said, I use glass/steel where I can vs plastic.

yeah, I have come to this realisation too. It’s just a matter of trying our best. I haven’t started using bottles for baby yet, but I’ll go for glass too. And even before learning about microplastics, I’ve never been a fan of warming food up in plastic. I had an idea that, even when they say it’s microwave safe - it probably isn’t 🤣 but yeah, I agree- what you have said is a sensible strategy.

@Barbra it's something I've known, but to me it's like the less he gets the better if that makes sense. I've stuck to warming my breastmilk up to only glass bottles. I've always preferred glass items(cups plates etc) over plastic for whatever reason. So this pushes me more. 😅
