Is it bad to eat honey I'm 11w2d and while I was eating a biscuit covered in honey my dad said that kids under 1 can't have it and I didn't know if unborn kids shouldn't have honey?

Its actually a bacteria in the honey that young children can't fight coz there intestines aren't mature enough!

I heard that while your pregnant its ok. But do not give some to the baby once he/she is here because their little bodies can't digest it properly.

Yes its fine as long as its pasteurized! Im assuming the jars you buy in shops are fine its just raw honey you can't eat.
