Although honey has very high nutritional value, people with health concepts will keep some at home. But when consuming it, have you considered its target audience, such as children. Parents should understand that their children's diet is very particular and cannot be eaten indiscriminately. So, at what age can children eat honey?
Parents should know that honey is not suitable for children under one year old, including some honey products, and should not be given to children for consumption. Parents should strictly control the time when their children eat honey to avoid unnecessary harm to them. But if a child under one year old eats honey, parents should pay attention to their child's condition. If the child experiences symptoms such as nausea, loss of appetite, and rash, they should seek medical attention in a timely manner.
After a child turns one year old, they can eat some honey. When adding it, they should pay attention to the amount and not add too much at once. Due to the presence of estrogen in honey, eating too much can lead to premature development in children. Therefore, children should not eat too much honey.
Parents should also note that drinking honey at different times can have different effects on their children. It is recommended to consume it one hour before their child eats, or 2-3 hours after a meal. This time period will not affect the child's normal eating and is also beneficial for their digestion and absorption. For children who have poor sleep, eating some honey can also promote sleep.
