Question: From what age can I give Baby Rooibos tea to my baby?

Answer: Dr Annique Theron had great results through the years by giving Rooibos tea to even newborn babies. Because Rooibos has a low tannin content, the tea will not deplete your baby's iron reserves. In fact, Baby Rooibos tea contains iron and other minerals that are needed to give baby a healthy start in life.

Question: How do I use Baby Rooibos tea with my baby's formula?

Answer: 

1. Add 1 liter of boiling water to 2 bags of Baby Rooibos tea in a teapot or saucepan
2. Simmer for 20 minutes on the hob - keep the brew just under boiling point
3. Do not do this in the microwave as some of the antioxidants will be destroyed in the heating process
4. Pour tea into sterilised bottles; replacing ⅔ (two thirds) of the boiling water that you would normally use to prepare the formula
5. Leave to cool
6. When it is time to feed baby; add milk formula as prescribed on the tin and use ⅓ boiled water to make up the rest of the bottle

** Baby Rooibos tea on its own does not replace baby's formula meals
