I try to look for items that are BPA free, but plastic truly is everywhere and it's so hard to avoid!

It is hard to avoid, is it even possible do you think?

What about toys?  Do you avoid giving your baby plastic toys to play with?

It is so hard to avoid. I'm glad my kids are older so I don't have to worry about it as much
