A member asked:

What number plastic is most safe for baby bottles?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Use glass: All the plastics leach out some chemicals. Better with glass. Or even better, breast feed.Breast milk can be pumped and frozen too for later use or when you are away from baby. Breast milk is always best.
