Peel and chop everything, then bring to a boil for second. Turn it down and simmer for 15-20mins. You can add cayenne and honey too if you want. Sometimes I freeze them and make pops if I'm tired of drinking hot tea :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-give-babiestoddlers-tea#post-598721 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 21:52:57 +0000 BananaPancakes 598721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've given my son chamomile tea off and on since he was a newborn and had such tummy issues. But I don't know about other teas. He's had sips of my black iced tea, but very little, and he's had no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-give-babiestoddlers-tea#post-598719 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 21:51:52 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 598719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: I could use some of that right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-give-babiestoddlers-tea#post-598718 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 21:51:30 +0000 Mrs. Pen 598718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: bahaha that's hilarious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-give-babiestoddlers-tea#post-598715 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 21:50:42 +0000 T-Mom 598715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH thought it would be funny to give Dd some Thai iced tea when she was almost 2. She had an almost immediate rush and would not stop running around the shopping mall! No more tea for her after that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-give-babiestoddlers-tea#post-598705 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 21:46:57 +0000 prettylizy 598705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make a ginger/asian pear tea for LO when she isn't feeling well!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-give-babiestoddlers-tea#post-598701 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 21:43:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 598701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: yup!

He took his naps really well today! Maybe it doesn't affect him? I drink coffee once a week and he never reacts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-give-babiestoddlers-tea#post-598696 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 21:42:08 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 598696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Honey is a no no under 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-give-babiestoddlers-tea#post-598695 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 21:41:08 +0000 hilsy85 598695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have heard of chamomile tea being recommended for a lot of different baby tummy issues. No idea about black tea but I'd guess not because of the caffeine?</p> <p>And isn't raw honey not good for babies...? Or is it only til age 1 (I know your LO just had his bday! :) ). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-give-babiestoddlers-tea#post-598688 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 21:38:04 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 598688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Because people then make a comment about her being a little doctor just like her mama!</p> <p>Oh, C. might have a little caffeine rush! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-give-babiestoddlers-tea#post-598658 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 21:22:36 +0000 MrsTiz 598658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about it, it's already in him now lol!

I know my 2.5 year old loves tea and we allow her to have some when she is sick. She's pretty sure it's a cure all, so she's always recommending ibuprofen and blueberry tea to all her friends. It gets a little embarrassing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-give-babiestoddlers-tea#post-598645 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 21:18:08 +0000 Mrs. Pen 598645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally spaced on this... I made a large batch of iced tea (black and orange pekoe with raw honey) and let my 12 month old have some - he drank about 4-5 oz... but then I remembered how a few months ago someone told me the herbs in tea are too strong for a baby and if they have some it should only be a few teaspoons... now I'm worried!!</p> <p>When can you give babies tea? </p>
