Q: Hot Cocoa For a 14 Month Old?

I wouldn't see why it wouldn't be alright to give Kayle some hot cocoa (Obviously not HOT hot), I just wanted to see if any of you ladies with little ones around Kaylee's age or older have done this?

As long as she doesn't have to much because of the sugar and caffeine I would think a little bit would be alright!

Lol, I know with all this talk about sugar & caffeine, I'm not so sure I want to give it to her now!! I just thought of it because it gets pretty chilly in here in the morning while I'm getting the woodstove going again & I always have some hot cocoa, so I figured Hmmm why not get Kaylee a little!? Not sure now though!!

I don't have any tea but I'll write that on my list so the next time I go to town I'll get some! I've honestly never tried any kind of hot tea!

camomille has no caffeine in it. I would not give tea to babies and toddlers. It has more caffeine than coffee even if it is not diffused fully.

yeah its true .....but black tea has no purpose other than it tastes good. green tea is great for you and kids and Camomille is a natural sedative and its good for disgestion..
