Question
How old should a baby be to drink honey water for health benefits?
Answer
Babies with constipation can benefit from drinking honey water every morning, as it has a good laxative effect. This is due to the properties of honey, which include nourishing the lungs and spleen, moisturizing the intestines, and clearing heat and detoxifying. It is recommended to drink at least 60 milliliters of honey water each time; less than this amount is ineffective. Using warm water to dilute the honey can enhance the effect. Bananas are also a good food for treating childhood constipation; generally, eating 1-2 bananas can achieve a lubricating and laxative effect within a short period of time.
