FYI - for those that don't know. If you want to limit you baby's exposure to BPA, you probably don't want to use these. Since they are rigid and clearish, they probably have BPA. Use powdered formula or the liquid formula in the large, non-clear containers to limit BPA exposure.
ellone - this site gives more info on BPA for this product.
"BPA Free Bottles This has been a great concern to many that I have spoken to, as it is known that BPA can be harmful and is found in plastic. Similac uses BPA-free bottles, however, the lids do have a special expoxy which does contain BPA, but there is another layer over the epoxy that prevents the BPA from contacting the formula. This has been verified by Similac."

Anyone able to get this to work for the 8oz bottles instead of the 2oz bottles?
Infants don't need limitless food. Feeding children this garbage gaurantees a lower IQ, not to mention the damage soy estrogens do to developing males.
you should note that these are the small 2 oz. bottles and they DO NOT come with the nipples. so you will have to buy those seperate or dump into a bottle of your own

maybe in the past, but no company in the USA is allowed to sell baby food or baby containers with BPA now (law just went into effect this month).

Exactly wrong. Breast milk is a supply and demand system. The more your baby nurses (or the more you pump), the more natural breast milk you will produce. And, obviously, it's free and a far better option for both mother and child.

Don't waste your time - if these parents were concerned about what was best for the baby they wouldn't be using formula in the first place. There are a lot of babies starving to death in Haiti and Chile at the moment because the formula companies encouraged the mothers to eliminate their milk supplies in the name of making a profit for Nestle and others. Now that potable water is in critically short supply the parents have to feed their children contaminated formula (which is *NOT* sterilized at the factory, by the way so it starts out as a questionably safe food supply) assuming they can get any at all.
Breastmilk is better, cheaper and more convenient in every way, shape and form - any parent who willingly substitutes formula is ignorant, selfish and lazy.
Yes, they're going to ding me down, but they're going to do it without spending even 30 seconds researching to see if there's a shred of truth in what I just posted.

Wrong. Some -states- have banned BPA (Oregon explicitly ALLOWED BPA in their most recent legislative foray over the issue) and Feinstein in California introduced legislation that would ban BPA but it hasn't passed yet.
As published 1/17/2010:
"U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials say they are powerless to regulate BPA, although they have declared the chemical to be a safety concern for fetuses, babies and young children.
A quirk in the rules allows BPA makers to skirt federal regulation.
"We may have to go after legislation to change it," Joshua Sharfstein, the FDA's principal deputy director, told the Journal Sentinel. The newspaper has been investigating the government's lack of regulation regarding BPA for three years.
FDA officials announced Friday that they had reversed their position that bisphenol A is safe. The chemical, used to line most food and beverage cans, has been found in the urine of 93% of Americans tested."
Please don't say things that are a) false and b) easily verified as false. Your statement is so far from factual that it borders on an intentional lie - do you work for a formula manufacturer by chance?

It has been widely reported that many bottles that claimed to be BPA free still contained traces of the chemical. Just as with the transfats, the government allows you to claim that there is "none" if the actual levels are lower than a certain point though still non-zero.
