whats the deal with honey?
i brought in a jar today to have with tea because my throat has been sore and so many people came by my desk asking if it was okay to have?
Of course i panicked because i've been having a few tablespoons every day since friday!
Has anyone heard anything about this? I just looked in my what to eat when expecting book and it lists honey as an ingredient in some things. Could it be that maybe its not pasturized? I got it from a local farm

Re: whats the deal with honey?
Honey is okay during pg, I have never read anything otherwise
Honey though Is NOT okay for babies under 1-2 years old though, maybe they are getting that mixed up with pg?

Honey is fine. But it is like peanut butter with little kids, you can't introduce it for a long time because of the risk of allergies.

FYI - Actually the problem with honey is a risk of botulism for children under the age of 1.
As an adult, your intestine has the bacteria necessary to kill the botulism spores in honey, so its ok as a pregnant person unless you have some other immune deficiency...

this is a real risk...
this actually happened to a friend's baby- got botulism.. it was VERY scary- she was fine now- but it was unbelievable... they had NO idea about the honey thing.

That is what my doctor said too. Except he said 1 yr old for the baby.
