Honey & babies

So, I know NO honey until baby is 1, even baked into things. But the website I was looking at says commercial products are usually ok because they're heated at a higher temperature.

If I bought challah at a bakery, does that count as commercial? Do you think their ovens are actually hotter than mine at home?

I was going to make some for Thanksgivikkah, but if 8 month old could nom on some from a bakery, I'll save myself the trouble of making at home.

    Ok, you've convinced me. Baby will just have to wait another year for the deliciousness. Now just to decide whether or not to be lazy... bakery or homemade... :)

    We followed the -no honey until a year- rule. But at DD's 1 year appointment the pedi kind of laughed at that and said that store bought honey was fine and it was only raw honey that you had to avoid. I had never heard that before. I'm not sure I will give our next kid honey before a year, but I probably wouldn't worry about store bought honey that has also been cooked in a meal at home.

    Pasteurized honey is okay. Is the internal temp of whatever you're baking going to be 161 degrees?

    I have no idea what the internal temp would be. I'm baking bread at 375° for 30-40 minutes. Would that do it?

    If it's at all risky, I just won't give it to him. He's only 8 months, sill nurses a lot. But he loves all the food, so I've been trying to give him most things I eat that don't have lots of sugar or salt.

    No cooked honey?! GDI there are so many rules.

    Yea, I'm not really one to follow most of the food rules, but I've heard honey is serious.
