Specializes in Pediatrics

Tea for babies: It is not recommended as a general rule. It offers no benefits to the baby's nutrition and if given too much, too young the baby can actually get water intoxication (water poisoning) which can be life-threatening. Wait to talk to your doctor at your baby's next well visit.
