Woof. Never heard that before! Glad my immune system is at least

working well enough to not be bothered by that!

That, and enzymes. Okay! Thanks! Not sure if it'll make it into the

book or not, but I realized I had the question in my brain, so I

figured I should ask.

Even 27+ years ago when my son was born,

it was well known not to feed honey to an infant under 12mos. Maybe there’s

nothing to it, but better to be safe than sorry, IMHO.

If you google “honey + infants”

(without the quotes), you’ll get pages and pages of links to information.
