Honey is not recommended before age 1 in babies due to the botulism risk. The *Clostridium botulinum* spores found in honey can multiply in a baby's immature gut flora, causing serious poisoning. Turkey's Ministry of Health, the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics), and the WHO (World Health Organization) share this view.
Not the day after birth — after your baby turns 1 year old, starting at the 12-month mark, it can be given safely. When introducing it for the first time, starting with a tiny amount (just the tip of a teaspoon) is a good idea.
