Q- What about infants taking herbs?
A- We do not recommend it. If possible have the nursing mother take the adult dose about half an hour before nursing. Yet if you decide to self prescribe, start with 1 drop per pound, starting at one drop and working up to a full dosage over several days. Watch for rashes, or other usual signs. Remember infants can't give you feedback about what is happening and their digestive tracts are not fully developed. We do not yet know what allergies and sensitivities they may have individually. What is safe for a friend's infant may not be safe for your baby. Please consult a health care practitioner before using the herbs.
