I have been thinking about this question for some time and wondering if anyone has an answer for me? I have read that we shouldn't feed our babies out of plastic bowls. I use small glass goblets for Mitzi that used to be my great-grandmother's. I never let the kids use them when they were small, but nothing is too good for our Mitzi!  I have also read that we should give our babies bottled water, which I do. But, the water comes in plastic bottles. Is this OK? What would be the difference of water in a plastic bottle vs them drinking out of a plastic bowl? I have no intention of feeding Mitzi out of plastic bowls, I just hope the water I am buying for her isn't hurting her???? Anyone have any comments on this? Thank you.[/B]

I think the issue with plastic doggie bowls is that plastic can harbor bacteria. I am not sure if it is ok if you put it through the dishwasher. I use glass for Sassy and I put it in the dishwasher after each meal. Actually Sassy has about 10 bowls that I use for water and food. I change them daily and always have clean ones available. As for the bottled water I think some people use it because of the minerals in their tap water. Where we live we have great water and Sassy drinks from the tap as we do. However, I do use bottled water for her when we travel. Hope this helps.
