Whole milk should not be introduced as a replacement for breast milk or formula until after 12 months. Reason being is due to the fact that whole cow milk cannot properly sustain a growing infant. It simply does not have all the nutritional components needed for healthy growth and development. There is also a bit of difficulty in the digestion of whole milk proteins. If you want to try, start with yogurt and cheese are cultured and thus tend to be more easily digested. Another item is Citrus as it is very acidic and many infants under the age of 12 months old suffer rashes and tummy upsets due to the acidity. This has nothing to do with allergies. Others like Strawberries and Shell Fish, and even Peanuts, can prompt severe, life threatening allergic reactions. The recommendation continues to be one of caution and delay.

hmm.. I believe most tea contains caffeine so it may not be a good idea to give that to a baby. For drinks, I think breast milk, formula and water are the safest bet as drinks for an infant. You can also give them diluted fruit juices so that the sugar content will not be too high.
