This actually happened to my cousin's son. He was in the hospital for weeks (it took quite a while to figure out what the problem was, and then treat it), and he had to relearn basic motor functions like how to hold his head up, track movement with his eyes, how to swallow, and how to walk. He's doing absolutely fine now, but yeah. The more you know

Not an enzyme, it has the potential for botulism spores. After approximately 6 months of age, babies have developed sufficient GI flora to handle the spores. The CDC tacks an extra six months onto their recommendation, just to be sure. Not all countries/cultures follow this practice, but in the US, it is generally recommended to wait until a babe is one year old to have honey. Type of honey doesn’t matter—raw, pasteurized, powdered, all honey has potential for botulism spores.
