Babies can’t process caffeine in the same way as adults. If anyone is reading this and thinks it’s a good idea to give your child black tea of any sort, you should absolutely wait until the kid is at least 10-12 yrs old… The kiddo will be absolutely wired and it negatively impacts their ability to sleep. Overall this is a very bad idea.
Edit: also refined sugar is a big no no for kids younger than 2 yrs old.
My parents were old time hunters and trappers who were born in the wilderness … so they weren’t up to date with the latest pediatric recommendations at the time.
I’m indigenous Canadian and I’m the first generation in my family to be born in a modern hospital. My parents were born and raised in the wilderness and lived a very traditional nomadic life for about the first 30 years of their lives. They had a bit of education and they were very bright people but they had no understanding of many modern things … things like feeding a baby caffeinated drink. All they understood is that it was nutritious and filling.
Tea with milk and sugar in a baby bottle…?
But why? Do they want a cranky baby that doesn’t sleep?

I’m sorry what? There’s a lot to unpack here

And it didn’t do me any damage … I think?
