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.
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.
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?
I mean, the fact that you’re on here means you must be damaged a little. But damn that is an amazing backstory
