Is milk & honey ok for kids??

Question

Recently I was drinking some warm milk with honey & my little cousin wanted a taste,at first I told her no but I figured itd do no harm I was just worried she might be allergic,I gave her a few sips & she loved it but shes only 2,she kept wanting more but I wouldnt let her..is it ok that I did that? & can it harm her..I dont know if milk & honey can be bad for children

Answer 1

A Pediatrician will tell you that a child under one should not have honey, as a high rate of infant botulism exists because their immune systems aren't quite up to par yet. I would think at the age of two, it would be okay, but you might want to ask your Aunt/Uncle before you give it to her in the future.
