Is home brewed cinnamon tea bad for toddlers to drink?

Question

My mother always said that cinnamon tea was good for stomach ailments and would often brew the cinnamon sticks into a tea for us to drink when we had tummy aches. I am wondering if it's a bad thing for toddlers to drink? Is cinnamon bad for them?

Answer 1

Toddlers are bouncing around enough without the additional caffeine!

Answer 2

natural cinnamon sticks do not contain caffeine, so as long as you are not using caffeinated cinnamon products, it will be fine.  some stores will have tea specifically for children's tummy aches, and as long as it is decaf, it will be ok to brew cinnamon into it.
