I can't believe it but Boots in their 'baby and you' book recommend giving honey to babies and children for a dry cough, without any warning that honey should never be given to an infant under the age of 1 as it can cause infant botulism. I've just read up on infant botulism and although rare can cause breathing difficulties among other things and although treatable if dealt with quickly the lo has to be in intensive care. I've just phoned Boots to tell them about this as to me it is a a really serious error on their part. They say they will deal with it but I just wanted to make people aware.
