Can i give my one year old tea?

Question

My daughter has been having problems falling asleep, it's a battle every night. I bought (just for kids organic nighty night tea) It has linden flower, chamomile and hibiscus. I am just wondering if it's safe?

Answer 1

I nursed for the army for four years and one thing I learned was to be very careful when it comes to kids...  Kids like adults can have an allergic reaction to anything, but for them is worse because they are smaller so they can get hurt quicker.  With that said, anytime I feel the need to ask someone if something is safe, I ask my kids pediatrician because they are trained to answer all sort of questions about what is safe and not.  

Also, although something on the package may say safe and all natural, it can be far from it.  For example marijuana is an herb, but it doesn't mean I want to brew it for my children.  This is a number for a nurses hotline, they may be able to help you 706-737-8423

Answer 2

I've always used chamomile tea. since they were babies. it tends to soothe them to sleep. I'm sure its not a problem just dont sweeten it.

Answer 3

Try Rooibos tea, no allegic reaction, and very soothing.  I used them with my kids from the time they where 2 months old.
