Safer Serving and Storing Some chemicals in the plastics, glues, dyes, and coatings used in food packaging, including storage containers, dishes, and utensils, may pose a risk to babies and children. These chemicals are endocrine disruptors, which means that they interrupt the normal functioning of hormones. This can lead to negative effects such as an increased risk of obesity and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, a change in the timing and effect of puberty, and other gastrointestinal and metabolic health issues. As a result, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that you do not microwave food and beverages in plastic or put plastics in the dishwasher; instead, stock your kitchen with alternatives to plastic, such as stainless steel or glass. If possible, avoid plastics with the recycling codes 3, 6, and 7 altogether. You can further reduce your baby’s risk by choosing feeding plates, cups, and utensils made from stainless steel, silicone, or bamboo, and storing any leftover foods in glass containers rather than plastic ones.
