Sorry sue for the delayed response . I must have missed your posting some how. Yes Rooibos is very rich in certain nutrients calcium and floride is but a few which is essential for healthy growth of bones and teeth. It is possible for babies to survive on it as long as the is either a tiny bit of sugar or honey to provide the energy component of the nutrients. See link for nutritional breakdown. Having said that. Milk is best for a tiny baby.
