I think you would want give green tea early in the day since it

contains caffeine. I wouldn't want to be up at 2:00 a.m. playing

Chicken Elmo with an 8-month old.

Here is something to read about green tea:

And if you live in an area that adds fluorine to the water, you might

want to read this first before giving a child green tea:

So many sides to the coin it's hard to know what to do. Panax

ginseng supposedly effects pseudomonas... I don't remember how or

why, so for adults, green tea with ginseng might be good.

And have you seen this site? Sorta nifty...

I can remember green tea being talked about when I first joined the

list. I remember Torsten and I think someone else that had a baby,

maybe a few months old. Anyway, I just read that the flavonoids in

green tea have been found to inhibit the growth of antibiotic

resistant staphylococcus. Did you guys know this already? What other

positive effects does green tea have on CF? Would their be any

benefit or harm in giving my 8 month old tea? I was just wondering

what the veteran tea drinkers thought....
