Plastic bottles can contain bisphenol A, a chemical that can leach into a bottle’s contents and has been linked to a string of health problems. To ensure baby’s drink is clean and safe, consider switching to glass bottles, or fill up the stainless steel Klean Kanteen. This lightweight, durable alternative holds 12 ounces and fits perfectly in tiny hands. Baby drinks from a soft sippy cap fashioned out of non-leaching plastic. ($17.95, www.kleankanteen.com)
