Unlike botulism in older children and adults, infant botulism can come on slowly and get gradually worse over time. That means parents and other caregivers can make a big difference in noticing the symptoms early and getting medical care.

Symptoms of infant botulism can include:
- Choking when trying to feed
- Constipation
- Weaker suck or poor feeding
- Eyelid drooping (ptosis)
- Lack of facial expressions, being unable to lift their head, or other signs of muscle weakness or paralysis
- Weaker crying
- Weakness or decreased muscle tone, especially starting at the top of their body and limbs, making your baby feel “floppy” and keeping them from reaching or grabbing
- Bowel movement changes, like not pooping for days or even weeks at a time

Babies get botulism if they eat something containing spores from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. The best-known way that babies can get Clostridium botulinum spores in their gut is from honey. That’s why you should NEVER give honey to babies under a year old.
