I believe most companies are jumping on the BPA free wagon. A few of the most inexpensive bottles may still contain BPA-- perhaps it's their price point? I don't really know but even Gerbers most inexpensive bottles do not contain BPA. I know that Avent, Playtex, Born Free, Dr. Browns, Medela, ThinkBaby, We*Go glass bottles, Green to Grow, and evenflo glass bottles are BPA free.
As far as heating up the bottles, baby bottles should not be heated in a microwave-- BPA free or not. The heat produced in a microwave is not distributed evenly within the formula making it harder to determine whether there are some points that may be too hot for the baby's mouth.
The best way to heat up a baby's bottle is through running it under hot water, then testing it on the inner part of your wrist-- if it's too hot for you, then it's definitely too hot for a baby's mouth.
The great thing about baby's bottles and items is that if they are BPA free, it will say it on the label-- companies promote it because they know that it appeals to mother's trying to get the best for their kids.
