Ingredients Analysis (6 found)

bourbon
🚫8/10
Bourbon is an alcoholic beverage and is dangerous for children 2-5 years old. It should never be in baby consumables due to toxicity and developmental risks.
Brain Development - Alcohol (the main component of bourbon) is known to negatively affect early brain growth and mental development in infants and young children, even in small amounts.
Organ Risk - Alcohol can cause liver and kidney damage, especially in babies whose organs are still developing and are much more sensitive to toxins.
Immune system - Alcohol consumption can weaken or disrupt the developing immune system in infants, making them more susceptible to infections.
Metabolism - Alcohol interferes with normal metabolic processes in babies, who cannot efficiently break down or eliminate alcohol from their bodies.
Breast Milk - Alcohol is known to pass into breast milk and can be consumed by nursing infants, posing risks to their health and development.
Long-Term Risk - Early exposure to alcohol is linked to long-term health effects, including developmental delays and increased risk of behavioral and cognitive problems.
