They say to avoid feeding honey to a child before he reaches 1 year of age. However, infant botulism accounts for less than 0.00003 percent of infant deaths in the US. The risk of an infant contracting and dying from infant botulism is about 1 in 3 million. There are approximately 100 infant deaths from botulism in the US each year. Just to put things in perspective. Anyways, a child should be breastfed AT LEAST the first year of life (the WHO recommends the first three years of life) if the mother is capable of breastfeeding without debilitating pain, assuming of course she has a desire for her child to develop as healthy as possible. With that in mind, there's really no need for an infant to be eating honey in the first place.
