When did you first introduce honey?
My baby will be 12 months old in 10 days. We ordered a pizza for dinner last night that had a honey drizzle on it. My husband felt I was being too rigid not giving some to baby. Honestly she didn’t even eat more than 1 piece and the texture of the chewy crust felt like more of a worry to me for choking hazard than my concern about a small drizzle of honey. It got me wondering when and how yall introduced honey?
We’ve mostly been avoiding added sugars or sweeteners to baby’s food so my other concern was that it’s an unnecessary sweetener, more than the botulism concern at this age.
Plate is mozzarella balls, broccoli, Asian pear, and the pizza.
