liquid honey is unpasteurized and the bacterias present can be too much for babies tender immune systems. Solid (white) honey should be ok, it is pasteurized, but check with a pediatrition first.

Botulism is present in small amounts in most honey, as it is not pasteurized. These small amounts can be handled by mature immune systems, but not by a small child. The honey that is present in things like baby cereal is usually pasteurized, however.

Botulism. Honey has bacteria in it that causes botulism and a babies body is too small to be able to handle it. It doens't effect a child or adult the way it would a baby. Baby could die.

It can contain botulism spores, which are extremely hard to kill, and their immune systems are not mature enough to deal with them until after their first year.

it has an opposite effect like when you give a dog honey for lethargy, it will make them like that if you give them honey. I'm not going to question it. If she cannot have honey under one, then she will definetly not have any.

Most honey is not pasteurized, so it contains bacteria that babies can't digest

It could give your baby botulism. It could make them very sick or possibly kill them. Do you really want to take that risk?
