mam not a wise thing to do,honey is not advised for child less than 1 yr of age:there is a risk for botulism.then giving honey to child you are giving high sugars which sets the child up for sugar addiction as the baby grows older .by not giving added sugars in first 2 yrs of life you decrease your babies chances of developing high bp or diabetes later in life -when he grows up as an adult.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Upto 6 months of age, nothing apaart from mother's milk needs to be given.
So if your baby's age is less than 6 months, do not give anything except for breast milk. .if she is more than 6 months, you can give her.
Consult a pediatrician in person for further evaluation and management.
