Are we allowed to have honey?

I remember that babies aren't allowed honey up until one year old. So if we are pregnant, can we have honey?

The only reason you may not be able to have it is that isn't unpasterised.

I feel stupid even asking this but I am wondering if Honeycombs cereal is ok to eat. It was on sale so we bought it and I like it but I'm not sure if its ok to eat when pregnant.

I am sure its fine. I was never told there was any cereal I couldn't eat and honestly there are probably tons of preservatives in the cereal to keep any germs away.

I would be more worried about drinking too much caffeine than eating honeycombs.

Chat Icon I"m eating waffles with tons of honey drizzled on them right now! My DH's grandma from Isreal swears by eating a tablespoon of honey every day with lemon while you are pregnant. She had 11 children and they all are fine!

Is It Safe to Eat Honey during Pregnancy
By : Angie Younce



Is It Safe to Eat Honey during Pregnancy



Children under one year of age should not eat honey because it can contain botulinum spores. Mature digestive systems are more acidic than a young child’s and thus prevent spores from producing the toxin that causes the deadly food poisoning botulism. Children under one do not have the mature digestive system that can prevent this from happening. When young children eat honey contaminated with botulinum spores the spores can colonize the intestine. The spores are not toxic, but when they germinate the release dangerous neurotoxins that are absorbed into the blood stream and can cause paralysis.



Pregnant woman can safely eat honey. Pregnant Mom’s digestive tracts are acidic and will prevent the spores from germinating thus preventing any danger to the fetus from eating honey. Men, Women, and older children are routinely exposed to the spores that can be present in honey without any affect.
