Question
A one-year-old baby is experiencing constipation, and the parent inquires whether it is safe to give the baby honey water to alleviate the issue.
Answer
Honey may contain botulinum spores, which can pose a risk of poisoning for infants whose immune systems are not fully developed. Therefore, it is not recommended for one-year-old babies to drink honey water. It is advised to consult with a doctor and use other appropriate methods to address the baby’s constipation.
