Wow. I find this very concerning. I have never recommended that a mother
give her newborn anything other than breastmilk, which definitely means that
I would never recommend a bottle containing tea. Everything I know about
giving boiled water, even mixed with herbs, to a breastfeeding baby
indicates that this is a major no-no.

Can you give me some examples of when you would give tea to a newborn?
