You shouldn't give a baby honey.

Firstly, the baby's digestive system is not really developed enough to cope with a large amount of sugar -- and honey is almost all sugar.

Secondly, there is a risk, albeit extremely small, that the honey is carrying the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This will not be in sufficient quantity to have any serious effect on an adult or older child, but could very seriously affect a baby whose immune system is not sufficiently developed to deal with it.

This is why in some countries and states honey is labelled 'Not to be given to children under 12 months'
