What an idiot. My nearly 2yo was having honey on toast and I gave my 6mo a small piece to suck as she was reaching out for it. I temporarily forgot (I blame sleep deprivation) about the 1 year rule. It’s not even UK / processed honey - it’s some posh organic honey which says on the label is from Bulgaria, a friend bought it me as a gift.
As soon as I realized what I’d done I took the toast off her. I struggle with anxiety anyway but I currently feel sick and terrified - she’s only 6 months!
I’ve been googling botulism symptoms and will of course be keeping an eye on her for the next few days. I don’t think I can cope with the worry - I get about 3 hrs sleep a night at the moment and am struggling to process this.
Please tell me You’ve accidentally given your babies honey and they didn’t die ?!
