My child is not yet one year old, but I have thought to give him honey water, I would like to ask if it will harm the child?

    Because the gastrointestinal function of infants is weak, and the detoxification function of the liver is poor, especially for infants less than 6 months old, botulinum bacilli are prone to multiply in the intestines and produce toxins, thereby causing poisoning. It is not to say that one year old or above is edible. Infants and children over one year of age should also be careful when drinking honey, and the amount consumed should be appropriately reduced compared with adults.
