I would imagine, because of its thickness, the child could choke. Then there is the possibility that their developing stomachs cannot handle the digestion easily. However, the most common reason I have heard is that it is toxic to children under two years old.

If you accidentally give babies honey what happens?

Honey should not be fed to infants younger than 1 year old. Clostridium bacteria that cause infant botulism usually thrive in soil and dust. However, they can also contaminate certain foods - honey in particular. Infant botulism can cause muscle weakness, with signs like poor sucking, a weak cry, constipation, and an overall decreased muscle tone (floppiness). Parents can reduce the risk of infant botulism by not introducing honey into their baby's diet until after the first birthday. As kids get older, their bodies are better able to handle the bacteria.
