Tea... Caffeine free with full fat milk and a sweetener?? I'm gonna start giving Noah tea instead of a bottle at bedtime…

Is it like an old wives thing to give babies tea? I remember my Mum and Aunts etc always asking if I'd given Morgan tea when he was a baby. I was like I hadn't even thought of it. My Mum was like you had it all the time 😂 I let Max have tea now & then because he loves it. I use decaf & just milk no sugar or sweetener. But just a treat not his everyday drink as such. Morgan's never liked it!

Thanks for posting i give adam a cuppa every now n then if ive got no blue top milk hes been fine and lovees it, i was and so was my oh brought up on tea in a bottle n were fine never had any problems with low iron or anything so suppose it goes by how much! I cnt see anything wrong with it every now n then bur wouldn't every day 🙄 xx

When Maya finished breast feeding, id warm up cows milk for her before bed time :) xx

Maya didn’t have tea until 2.5 yo,

She’s only had it a few times (it was her and my aunties bonding time lol, my auntie loved her tea)

Maya only had breast milk, water and a bit of cows milk until then :)

She’s had hot chocolate a few times, I get the dark chocolate proper cocoa

Don’t add any sugar :)

I’ve not given Maya juice xx

I just give him water that and breast milk is all he’s ever had as he refused full fat milk

If you're looking at giving him tea throughout the day try some herbal teas. We give Theo camomile and peppermint a lot. He loves to sit there with a cup of peppermint with dad at the end of the day xx

I'm put off the idea of tea now! 😂😂

I give ovaltine at bed time xx

Tea absorbs iron causing iron deficiency and it’s also hugely to blame for tooth decay even when brushed regularly xx

I wouldn’t give tea hun it’s no good makes them wee more and greater loss of calcium and also fills the stomach with less nutrients I’d stick with milk if you really wanted to then a spoonful of nesquick milkshake would be better than tea.

Can I ask why? There’s nothing good in tea for a child. Stick with the milk.

Still bad for teeth even without the caffeine and no sweetener 🤷🏼‍♀️

Personally I’d give hot Chocolate or Horlicks instead of tea :)

No sweeteners :) xx
