Re: Honey for babies...
hmm strange... I dunno anyone in my family in Pakistan whose infants have had problem with honey because they do give it to their kids on regular basis.. heck my sister used to feed a spoonfull of honey in winter to her boys at least once a week to keep them warm n free of cough/cold/flu!! Apparently it worked for all three of them! (I am talking for lil babies under the age of 1)
I understand the allergy part and considering everything has preservatives added here in west.. I would also suggest keeping raw food (fruits etc) away from babies until after the age of 1 but honey.. I dunno.. a part of me says better to be safe than sorry but I have never come across a baby who was harmed by honey considering I know hundreds of such children who have had it including me!!!
