Hi Honey to a newborn is not encouraged as it can contain bacterial spores which can cause a rare but serious infection So not even a single drop should be given
Next Steps
If it has been given already Watch for symptoms in next hours–days: • constipation • poor suckling • reduced activity • weak cry • droopy eyelids • feeding difficulty If any appear → urgent medical evaluation.
Health Tips
Avoid honey in water, sweets, gripe water, or on pacifiers.
