Fluoride, a trace mineral found in most tap water, is best known as a dental cavity fighter. It also helps to form strong bones by bonding with calcium and phosphorus. Your baby needs fluoride when the teeth begin to form at around ten weeks; permanent molars and incisors begin developing in the second and third trimesters.

It is not advisable to drink green tea because it has high amounts of fluoride. And, too much fluoride is bad for health. Yerba mate tastes like tea and has far less fluoride.
