Honey should not be given to newborns under one year of age due to the risk of botulism, a rare but serious illness caused by bacteria that can thrive in honey. Infants' digestive systems are not mature enough to handle these spores, which can lead to muscle weakness and breathing problems. Additionally, honey has no significant nutritional benefits for newborns compared to breast milk or formula. Therefore, it's best to avoid giving honey to infants until they are at least one year old.
