Keep your child’s drink safe with the Safe Sippy Cup

A few months back I did a post about the Bisphenol A (BPA) in water bottles and the potential for side effects. BPA is an estrogen-like chemical that can leach into your drink. It may be linked to health problems, including breast cancer and early puberty. Canada is considering banning the use of it altogether.

My own water bottles were not the only issue though. I realized that most of my kid’s sippy cups also contain BPA! Why one earth do they manufacture children’s cups with toxic chemicals?!

Thankfully, I was able to find the Safe Sippy Cup. It is a non-leaching stainless steel cup with a hard plastic, angled spout, removable plastic handles, and a cool rubber-like plastic sheath.

According to the website:

All plastic parts (cap and handles) are made from #5 plastic or polypropylene that is the safest and most stable of all plastics. All plastic used is tested and/or certified free of BPA and phthalates. Only when a child is actually drinking from the cup does the fluid inside come into contact with the plastic, so what you put in is what you get out.

The cup is fantastic and it does not leak, despite my son’s best attempts to get it to! He loves his new cup and I love the fact that I know his drink is safe. You can get the Safe Sippy Cup through their website and also Amazon.com.

Have you checked the sippy cups in your house lately? Any surprises?
