Honey is not advisable for infants under 1 yo.

Taken from babycenter.com:

Honey: Honey can harbor spores of Clostridium botulinum, which causes botulism. An adult's intestinal tract can prevent the growth of these spores, but in a baby the spores can grow and produce life-threatening toxins.

Most supermarket-bought honey is not pure honey anyway.

But please dont simply shove things down your baby's throat because it makes you feel better that you 'did something' about it. An infant's liver and kidney shouldnt be overworked with trying to flush out medications from their body.

I'm amazed with the fact that parents are too kancheong when their babies get sick. Have you studied immunology in school? There's a reason why we get coughs and colds and fever.

Anyway back to the topic, use a syringe (without needle). Try not to mask the taste too much with sugar cause there are already a lot of sugar in baby meds.

Ya the best method to get pure honey is to cultivate the hives in ur house or apartments for sure. Do try it out & I will be the 1st buy loads from u.

Anyway for children above 2 honey is quite safe. talking about safety, formula milk is also not safe also I presume. Brands like enfalac or sp7 or most brands are filled with either sugar or fat. Some may have melamine too. Even water u drink or boil may not be safe. Chill la..If u want perfect healthy lifestyle u should move back into the jungle amd cultivate ur own food. wash ur cloths with water only as detergent may be toxic to u too.

Anyway how often we use meds? About immunology, it only applies if ur talking about antibiotics. Not all meds are antibiotics. Drugs like cough mixture or mild antipyretics should not affect the immune system. Supportive medicines like these makes one feel better and hopefully can get a good night rest which will help recover faster too indirectly. Why suffer more when u got an option?? Of course we should avoid too strong of a med to suppress fever as some fever is actually good to maintain ur immune system when ur sick.

Chill la SydG. Thinking too much or concluding some facts with little knowledge can sometimes bring more harm than good.

Henryhing..TS baby is only 7mths..hence honey is not the suitable method right? (since u also said that it's safe for children abv 2yo).

Btw...we never mentioned abt other things that we deemed not safe thus your reasoning abv is out of topic.
