Intro and a question...

Hi ladies! I have lurked often since pregnancy and hope it's okay if I post. I am a teacher with 2 girls. My oldest, Millie, is 4, and Adele, our baby, is 13 months. I have enjoyed reading your posts--and your babies are all adorable. Okay, the real reason I came out of lurkdom, is because I just gave my baby honey. I am always so careful about what she eats, organic, very little processed--but I slipped up and fed her the rest of my older DD's sweat potato drizzled with honey. She loved it and ate well over half before I realized what I had done! I called the doctor and the nurse said it should be fine. But I'm worried, and I googled....anyone have any experience with this?

    I was told honey was fine at 1 year, and I'm pretty sure some other moms gave it even before then. I haven't given it to DD really directly, but it's ben the ingredient in things (like waffles this weekend) and she was fine.

    Thanks. That makes me feel a little better. I had thought it was no honey before two?

    Welcome! I always heard that honey is fine after their first birthday, so I think your DD should be fine. I love both your daughter's names!

    DS's pedi said honey was fine to give now. I wouldn't worry too much! Glad you came out of lurkdom! :)

    I believe the no honey before 1 is because of the risk of botulism. Maybe the thing about waiting until 2 is because sticky foods can be choking hazards? I've heard some wait to give peanut butter for that reason, so maybe it can go for honey also.

    Thanks for the replies.  I'm definitely feeling better.  I've already checked on her three times though!
