POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. If you've given a small amount of honey to a 6-month-old baby, it's important to be cautious. Honey is generally not recommended for infants under the age of 1 year due to the risk of infant botulism, a rare but serious illness. Infant botulism can occur when spores of a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum, which may be present in honey, produce toxins in a baby's immature digestive system.
The symptoms of infant botulism can include constipation, weak muscles, difficulty feeding, and in severe cases, difficulty breathing.
If you've given a small amount of honey and your baby appears to be fine, it's a good sign, but it's still a good idea to monitor your baby closely for any unusual symptoms. If you notice any signs of illness or are concerned, it's important to contact your pediatrician or a healthcare professional for guidance and to rule out any potential issues.
In the future, it's best to follow the guidelines and recommendations that advise against giving honey to infants under 1 year of age to ensure their safety.
