If Honey is Safe then Why Shouldn't Babies Eat it?

Everyone says honey is a safe and beneficial food. So why are warnings given not to give it to infants less than 1 year old? Despite honey's many benefits, there is something that you should know about it - but that doesn't mean that honey is not safe.
I grew up on a farm on the edge of the Nebraska sandhills. A cattle ranch that bears our family name, founded in the late 1800s by my ancestors, is still owned and worked by my cousin. Life events have put me in the suburbs of a major metropolitan area in middle America, where my wife and I have raised our two kids. It's in this environment that I work to make as sustainable a life as I can, converting much of our backyard to grow food, including a garden, fruit trees and bee hives.
I attempt to use natural methods, as much as is possible, in my gardening and beekeeping. I garden organically and continue to learn to work with the soil and the plants, without the use of chemical supplements, herbicides or pesticides, to improve our harvest. Our honey bees are sourced from local colonies through swarms, trap-outs and cut-outs, and are kept, using treatment-free, natural methods, in Layens horizontal hives.

CDC. ? I wonder if there is a campaign to reduce the use of a healthy product 😳 I like extracted honey, pressed honey, honey bees, bees wax, propolis, pollen, bee bread, and babies. Good job

Setting aside my own biases I'm not going to jump into conspiracy territory. The risk of contracting botulism is slight but honey is one of the primary carriers of the spores (ironically because of its antibacterial properties - as I discussed) so it's not a big surprise that it would be highlighted. But, as I pointed out, this highlighting can make the product appear dangerous and I want to try to counter that perception.

As a beekeeper, I understand what you’re saying, but we raise six children. Once they reached nine months of age, we gave them 1 teaspoon of honey per day, no problems, and they have no allergies.

Not all of the honey will have spores or spores in excess. Also some kids are stronger than others. It's roulette, and if you've got confidence in your specific situation it's absolutely your choice to feed it. As a honey producer I can say the label is to cover my own butt. The liability exists otherwise.

@@SageandStoneHomestead my children in their 20s 30s now, so the liability now lays on their shoulders because they have their own children and most kids at nine months of age are putting all kinds of objects in their mouth so personally, their immune system is activated

I do believe that the risk is low. I don't know the percentage of infants given honey who contract botulism, but that number is probably slight. However, I wanted people to be aware of why the warnings are there. I know that many people have given their babies honey and had no bad effects. I also know that at least one of my kids ate a lot of dirt so was probably at even greater risk - but turned out fine. But neither of those negate the fact that the risk exists.

@@SuburbanSodbuster same thing goes warning label on cigarettes. Personally, I don’t smoke but some choose to so I guess they ignore the labels. 😱

@Suburban Sodbuster I appreciated your video in explaining the reasoning behind this, I've wondered for 26 years now since my daughter was born. I also understand why you said what you said about babies. For both to cover yourself and so that each parent can make their own decision on whether or not they want to give honey to their babies. Just like smoking cigarettes is up to each individual it's up to each parent to make their own informed decisions!

Excellent video Sir! Liked and subscribed. If I'm not mistaken, Botcholidium Choloridium spores do not open until they reach a temperature of (270°F?), that's why I cure my homegrown pork. I was told curing kills the spore?

Babies have eaten honey for thousands of years and grew up just fine, in fact my 4 siblings and I grew up eating raw honey from our hives on the farm, not a single issue. 🤔Isn't it odd how so many ancient healthy items are now unhealthy in 🤨modern society.🤯Wonder what that says?👍Have a great week.

I grew up sleeping in the back window in my parents' car when we traveled to see my grandmother. Back then, it was actually a fairly common thing to do. Nowadays it would git me me an expensive ticket. Just because we used to do something all the time doesn't mean we have not learned that it's not safe to do.
