So What Happened?™

Thank you all for the Responses... I knew you couldn't feed it to babies, but I just wasn't sure about when you were pregnant. This is my first pregnancy so I just don't to take any chances...Thank you again!! :)

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 never heard anything that says not to.

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.
