Is honey suitable for babies?
No, your baby’s tummy isn’t ready for honey. Do not add honey to your baby’s food, water or formula; do not dip your baby’s pacifier in honey, and do not give your baby honey as medicine. Honey may contain bacterial spores that are common and may also be found in dust, soil and uncooked foods. Adults and children over one year of age are routinely exposed to these spores, but are normally not affected by them. However they can cause infant botulism in very young babies.
