Babies cannot have honey because it may cause Botulism.
There are three main kinds of botulism: · Foodborne botulism occurs when a person ingests pre-formed toxin that leads to illness within a few hours to days. Foodborne botulism is a public health emergency because the contaminated food may still be available to other persons besides the patient. · Infant botulism occurs in a small number of susceptible infants each year who harbor C. botulinum in their intestinal tract. · Wound botulism occurs when wounds are infected with C. botulinum that secretes the toxin. With foodborne botulism, symptoms begin within 6 hours to 2 weeks (most commonly between 12 and 36 hours) after eating toxin-containing food. Symptoms of botulism include double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, muscle weakness that always descends through the body: first shoulders are affected, then upper arms, lower arms, thighs, calves, etc. Paralysis of breathing muscles can cause a person to stop breathing and die, unless assistance with breathing (mechanical ventilation) is provided.

becuase honey has bacteria in it that babies bodies can't fight off. wait till they're at least 2 yrs old. and this goes for a few other things as well, like peanut butter (or even peanuts)...talk to a pediatrician for more things babies can't have.

Because it can cause botulism which is SERIOUS and can kill them. I know a little girl who almost died of botulism. It's not something you want to mess with. NO honey until baby is at least 12 months old.
