Not being knowledgeable, I don't want to scare anyone, but have been told that giving honey to infants may cause intestinal botulism: apparently babies are sterile and hermetic enough in the gi tract that given (unmetabolized I guess) nutrient, this flora may take over. Understand that many survive it anyway, but it's a very serious thing. Someone with medical background please comment.
