Weil Baby Tritan Bottle & Ortho Pacifier
Weil Baby makes stylish yet affordable baby products. I love their sippy cups for the bright colors, unique design and because they work well. Being BPA-free and non-toxic isn't the icing on the cake. I wouldn't buy them if they weren't made this way. Their baby bottles and pacifiers are no exception.
The Weil Baby bottle ($8.99, 9 oz) is a crystal clear nurser made from the revolutionary Tritan™ material just like the training and sippy cups and it is BPA and toxin free too. Developed by Dr. Andrew Weil, this bottle features the exclusive AirWave™ venting system that is clinically proven to reduce colic. It helps reduce gas and spitting up too. It comes with a stage 1 nipple (for ages 0-3 mos.), perfect for newborns, and its one-piece vent is easy to clean. What I love is that the parts are interchangable, various nipple sizes are available and once your baby is done with using a bottle it can be changed into a training or sippy cup. It eliminates so much waste and clutter.
The Ortho pacifier comes in packs of two ($7.99) which might seem steep in price considering the typical two pack pacifiers range from $2-5, but the Weil Baby version is very different. Made of 100% toxin-free silicone it helps with the natural development of teeth and gums. It's orthodontic and can be used night and day because it doesn't impact their sleep. Remember that many doctors now say that giving a child under the age of six months a pacifier during bedtime can help reduce SIDS.
Wouldn't you want that same pacifier to also help with healthy teeth and gum development if it could?
Weil Baby products are made in the USA, which is hard to find these days. They are high quality products that wear well and kids love them. My daughters love the bright colors and I love that I don't have to worry about toxins or a leaky cup and bottle. They are easy to clean too and the lack of small pieces means you won't lose them either. The pacifiers are soothing and babies love them. I highly recommend Weil Baby products.

Weil Baby Training Cups

For the past thirty years Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D., has spent his time developing, practicing and teaching the principles of integrative medicine. As the founder of Weil Lifestyle, LLC he has spent a lifetime of investigating natural and preventative medicine. In other words, Weil is very much in tune with using health care for not just the body but the mind and spirit as well.
Weil Baby is a product line spin-off from the good doctor. The 9 oz (also in 5 oz size) drinking cup ($9.99) is made from the revolutionary material Tritan™ and comes standard with the proprietary AirWave™ venting system that helps reduce colic and gas. Another benefit is that all the cups in the line are completely BPA and toxin free.
I love that the training and drinking cup colors are vibrant and modern. There is a nice aesthetic sense of style without a cutesy feel. I found it handy that both the types of cups (training and drinking) had wide mouths making it easy to pour milk, juice or formula into either at home or on the go. It also makes cleaning the cups a breeze. The handle on each style removes with ease as does the cap. The caps, by the way, make great little snack holders in the car too. The ounces listed on the cups are another plus, however they tend to scratch off easy, which annoyed me.
I also love the fact that all after-tax profits from royalties from sales of Weil Baby products go directly to the Weil Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting integrative medicine through training, education and research.
Overall, I like these toxin free cups. They are durable, easy to clean and wear well despite the rubbed off numbers.
