We went over to Oxnard (love the name) to Babies "R" Us to register. It was pretty sweet, you get to walk around and zap all the items you want for your baby. If you'd like to check out the registry you can find it here: Babies "R" Us
Our registry has a number which is: 47337581
There is one special request, we'd like to stay away from plastic items as much as possible. Especially plastic items that carry food and liquids.
This article recently ran in the LA Times about chemicals found in plastic:
A controversial, estrogen-like chemical in plastic could be harming the development of children's brains and reproductive organs, a federal health agency concluded in a report released Tuesday.
The National Toxicology Program, part of the National Institutes of Health, concluded that there was "some concern" that fetuses, babies and children were in danger because bisphenol A, or BPA, harmed animals at low levels found in nearly all human bodies.
BPA in plastics harmful to children
An ingredient of polycarbonate plastic, BPA is one of the most widely used synthetic chemicals in industry today. It can seep from hard plastic beverage containers such as baby bottles, as well as from liners in cans containing food and infant formula.
The federal institute is the first government agency in the U.S. to conclude that low levels of BPA could be harming humans. Its findings will be used to help regulators at federal and state environmental agencies to develop policies governing its use.
