Moms panicked during the BPA scare and some of us have even opted to feed our wee ones primarily organic diets. Once the wholesome food is prepped, is there a safe way to serve it?

Dandelion ReUseable Toddler Plates ($7 per set) are made from a unique corn formula which provides a nice alternative to petroleum-laden plastic tableware. Corn is a renewable and sustainable resource which uses less fossil resources and generates fewer green house gases than plastic. The toddler-sized divided plates keep finicky eaters happy since they have barriers to keep their foods from touching each other and can be rinsed in the sink. In addition to the plates, Dandelion Toddler also makes bowls, cups and utensils to complete the set.

Have you ever been at the store poised to buy a slew of bottles for babe when you suddenly wonder, "Are these Bisphenol A free?" While you can ask the clerk for information, you may not have faith in their response.

If that's the case, just pull out your cell phone and text "zrecs" and the company name to 69866. They will shoot back a BPA report for you right away.

To see how it works, read more.

For example, if you want to know if the Boon Snack Ball has BPA in it, you would text "zrecs boon" to 69866. The response you get will look like this: "Reported BPA–Free: Fluid, Benders, Modware, Catch Bowl, Groovy, Snack Ball. W/BPA: Squirt."
