The Dangers of Honey for Babies Under 1 Year

 

Honey is a natural ingredient that is able to overcome minor health complaints.
However, do not give honey to babies less than a year old because it is dangerous.
Why honey is dangerous for babies is that it most likely has Clostridium bacteria hidden in it.
Clostridium easily thrives in dust, rivers, and soil, it is likely that these bacteria also contaminate honey.
Honey that contains these bacteria can harm the baby's digestive system because the intestines are immature and cannot fight clostridium bacteria.
In contrast to adults whose digestive systems are mature and these bacteria do not cause harm.
Clostridium will release toxins in the baby's digestive tract, even if consumed in small amounts.
The effect is poisoning, food poisoning will cause symptoms of difficulty swallowing, unable to defecate, lethargy, refusal to eat and drink.
Immediately take the baby to the doctor if he shows these symptoms.
