Here is what he shared:
Babies or children below one year have NO business with honey
I don’t care if you were there when the honey was shitting the honey out. STOP IT!
Some give honey to bless the baby during naming ceremony so the baby’s life will be “sweet”
Stop giving babies honey
Here’s why

Sometimes honey can contain a harmful bacteria that produces toxins that can cause muscle weakness,paralysis and breathing problems in babies
Don’t give honey to children under one year of age
The issue is this, no one might suspect the honey is the cause, because its “natural”

Why does it affect babies under one year?
This is because in adults and older children, there are natural defenses in our intestines that prevent these spores from germinating into bacteria
Babies don’t have this
To prevent this, do not feed honey to babies under one year.
