🍯 Honey is NOT for babies! 🚫
Even one drop of honey can make your baby sick, including cooked or pasteurized honey.
Avoid honey for babies under 1 year old:
• Not on ni***es while breastfeeding
• Not on pacifiers
• Not on bottle ni***es
• If your baby is experiencing respiratory symptoms please contact your child’s pediatrician for guidance
Honey can cause infant botulism, a serious illness for young babies.
