POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. It is generally recommended to avoid giving honey to infants younger than 1 year old. This caution is due to the rare but serious risk of infant botulism, a bacterial illness that can occur when infants consume bacteria spores commonly found in honey.
However, as a breastfeeding mother, consuming honey yourself is usually considered safe because the bacteria spores do not pass into breast milk. The concern primarily applies to directly feeding honey to infants.
If you accidentally consume honey and are breastfeeding, there is no need to worry about passing botulism to your baby through breast milk. Just ensure that you avoid giving honey directly to your infant until they are at least 1 year old to reduce any risk of botulism.
Always consult with your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns about your diet while breastfeeding or your baby's health. They can provide personalized advice based on your individual circumstances.
