    Is it o.k if I give my 5month old baby purity and tea for a meal
    My baby is 5 month old and I hAVE started giving her purity every 2 feeding she has. I do not give milk first only purity and tea if she is thirsty. Would that be enough for her to eat as a meal.

    I would consult a pediatrician.
    Then ask for opinions from other sources.

    I am not an expert by any means. But the caffine in the tea concerns me.
    I think it better to ask before you act in matters concerning a baby's diet when you are not sure.

    I agree with the previous post, you have to speak to your paediatrician and review your babies diet as caffeine is a stimulant and should not be given to a baby. A baby of 5 months diet should consist solely of milk (breast or formula) weaning is recommended from 6 months and milk should still remain the foundation of this. Introducing foods and reducing the babies milk intake can cause dehydration as well as increase the risk of allergies and gut problems from weaning too soon. You should speak to your paediatrician.

    You shouldn't take it upon yourself to change your baby's diet without consulting a pediatrician.

    Go back to milk and consult him or her for advice. I'm sure the physician would not approve of the caffeine or you reducing the milk intake.

    At 5 months old you are harming your baby by giving her tea. She should ONLY be getting formula at this age. And, yes, I am a professional in this area.

    Now, I live in the US... What is "purity?"
