3. How Much Chamomile Tea Can A Baby Have?
For the first dose, you could stick to 0.5oz (15ml). If the baby accepts it well, then you can start giving 1oz (30ml) of tea per dose whenever the baby has colic, fussiness, gastric discomfort, and other conditions that are considered to be relieved by chamomile tea.
A study has found that about 5oz (147ml) of herbal tea per dose displayed the maximum benefit to the baby.
However, it is best to choose a smaller quantity. About 2-3oz (60-90ml) of chamomile tea per day (24 hours) is considered safe to use and could be beneficial too.
4. Could subdue colic and fussiness
Studies have found that chamomile tea may help soothe colic in infants, thereby promoting a restful sleep. However, clinical trials supporting this claim are limited. In some studies, regular use of the tea has shown to control chronic colic. It was also found that babies who tend to be fussy also felt better after the consumption of chamomile tea. However, it is not known how chamomile works on these conditions.
