Notes

Warnings About Camomile and Pregnancy
Peter Rabbit is often used as a baby shower theme, and while the strength of camomile is diluted in this drink, a warning. While camomile is generally safe and beneficial, it should be approached with caution during pregnancy. Camomile contains compounds that can stimulate the uterus, potentially leading to contractions. Pregnant women should consult with a healthcare provider before consuming camomile, especially in medicinal amounts.
