Sofia Coppola feeds daughter Romy at NYC park

did sofia get married? she looks so small in proportion to romy! it reminds me of michelle williams, another teeny mama.

That bottle is an Avent. I used those with my son.

Yup, it’s in the product listing along with the socks!

Have a question about plastic feeding bottles. Considering that plastics have been revealed to give off dangerous chemicals like phthalates, do Moms feel comfortable feeding their kids with plastic bottles? When I was a kid, they used glass bottles, which were not toxic. Then there’s the rubber nipple.

My last comment got lost. A question about plastic feeding bottles. Since plastics have been known to leach toxic chemicals, are mothers comfortable feeding their babies with plastic bottles specially since the milk has to be warmed before putting in the bottle. When I was a kid, non-toxic glass bottles were used. Then there’s the rubber nipples.

That baby has a big head.🙂 That was the first thing I thought when I saw Romy. She’s a cutie. Sofia is so petite, she looks like a teenager feeding her little sister/cousin.

Honey,
Yes I’m concerned about the Bisphenol -A in plastic bottles. There is a brand called Born Free which doesn’t have the hormone disrupting chemical. I own several of them and love them. They also sell glass bottles but those are pricey!

Seeing a woman bottle feed her baby… my first reaction is “awwe, so sweet”, not like when someone has their entire boob and nipple out for the world to see. Then it’s embarrassment and disgust. Not all of us are comfortable seeing strangers’ genitals. Sorry!

We have both plastic and glass bottles for my 9-month old daughter, but because of our concern about the chemicals, we use the glass bottles 90% of the time. I think it’s a subject that needs to be discussed more, I’m sure a lot of parents have no idea about the dangers of the chemicals in the plastic.

Thanks Nikki and Stephanie for the info about the glass bottles. Glad to know those are still around. I myself was never bottlefed because I was breastfed till I was almost two. But I work full time, so when (and if) I have kids, I’ll have to pump and give the bottles to the daycare.

I recently watched a friend warm her breastmilk in a plastic bottle and give it to her kid. That kind of made me uneasy. You are not supposed to heat food in plastic containers because that leaches toxins into your food. And why would you give your kid what you wouldn’t want to consume yourself? What about the rubber nipples though, are those safe?

I’ve been told that glass bottles aren’t great for breastmilk because certain molecules in the breastmilk stick to the glass, and don’t stick to plastic. Supposedly this makes what your baby gets incomplete nutrition. I used Avent bottles when I wasn’t nursing my girls…and while I am sure that plastic DOES release harmful chemicals, it’s really not something you can fret over too much, as practically every food item (other than those grown in your garden) comes into contact with plastic at some point. We live in a plastic world!
