And thanks for the point about botulism poisoning, that is another reason why honey is not recommended for babies under 12 months that I forgot to mention. Hi Nerida,

You’re right about being tired and wanting proven solutions, I totally agree, have been there so many times!

And thanks for the point about botulism poisoning, that is another reason why honey is not recommended for babies under 12 months that I forgot to mention.

Parenting advice can either be misleading, annoying or just plain dangerous. But (yes, there had to be a "but") I would have been completely lost with my daughter without all the advice I was given or read when she was a baby. Sometimes we are so tired as new parents that we just want to be told what to do. Not all the time, just sometimes. It doesn't take long to work out whether the advice is something that will be useful or not, and sometimes we can tell that doing the opposite may work better for us! I read so many books and interviewed, interrogated and spied on so many other parents that I started up my own website just so I can share everything I learned before I forget it all! BTW, I believe the warning on not giving honey to children under 12 months relates to the slight possibility of botulism poisoning rather than allergies. They're immune systems are weak and put them at risk. Yes, I totally agree. Parenting advice can either be misleading, annoying or just plain dangerous.
