Get a head start by following this must-have list of the best eco-friendly toys, household cleaners, baby food, clothing, skincare and more to create a healthy green space for you and your family.

SiliKids Drinking Solutions Free of BPA

With cup tossing babies around, you probably turn to unbreakable plastics - bottles, cups, plates, and more. But what's all this about BPA? BPA is a chemical used to harden plastics for more than 40 years. It's everywhere. It's in CDs, water bottles, the lining of food cans, and more. But after controversy regarding the safety of BPA in the healthy development of children, the FDA banned the use of BPA in baby bottles. All baby bottles and sippy cups sold in the USA are now BPA-free, but the jury is out on whether or not the chemicals being used instead are any safer.

That's why mom-preneurs of SiliKids created SiliSkins - reusable stretchy sippy and straw cup lids that stretch over regular glass glasses and cups in your home. The silicone based lid is naturally free of toxins and avoids BPA entirely.
