How old is your baby? There is only a slight risk that your baby will be harmed by it. Remember, mothers had been giving their babies honey for ages before we knew about the dangers. Keep an eye on your child for any signs of illness, but don't worry yourself to death. Just dont give your child any more until he/she is older (I think the recommendation is 1 year old, I waited til my children were two).
