ROOIBOS AND ITS BENEFITS FOR BABIES AND TODDLERS
Is it safe to give Rooibos tea to a baby? The answer is without a doubt, yes, from the age of 6 months old! Rooibos tea has many health properties and is a completely caffeine free herbal tea without any side-effects I feel confident to give it to my own children as a healthy alternative to water
It is safe for babies and older children. Do not add any sugar or milk as a baby’s sensitive gut cannot tolerate it. Your baby will soon love the natural sweet taste of Rooibos or flavoured rooibos teas.
From weaning time (around 6 months) you can feel free to give rooibos without milk and sugar as a drink between milk feeds. A tip of a teaspoon of xylitol (low glycemic index and completely natural) or a small amount of apple juice can be added from around to sweeten it slightly. This is however not necessary as your baby will drink what he/she is introduced to, so keep the sugar away if possible.
For toddlers and older children, homemade ice tea or ice lollies is a healthy alternative to fruit juices. Make a milky rooibos and sweeten with xylitol or add a small amount of juice or fresh fruit like strawberries or lemon and xylitol to make your own ice tea.
