I have heard that. It's just not cooked. Has bacteria or something, haven't looked into it in a while. I still eat some, not much at a time.

Babies under a year shouldn't have honey because of botulism. As adults it doesn't bother us, so you are fine. To me it seems, if you eat honey regularly your baby should be immune but they still say wait until the baby is a year old. http://www.drgreene.com/21_825.html
You are safe to eat honey... Good luck

I have eaten it with all three pregnancies and have had no problems. Again, just not for children under age one.

I've never heard that you can't eat honey while you're pregnant. I have heard not to use honey with babies because of an old wives tale to put honey on the pacifer.... which every pedi./book I've read has said not to do.
