What happens if a baby drinks formula with honey added?

Patient's question:

Starting from 9 months, I have been giving my baby formula with honey. Recently, I heard from others that honey should not be added to formula for children over one year old. Now I am very worried about my baby drinking formula with honey. The assistance I need: Hello doctor, my baby has been given honey with formula, should...

Doctor's answer:

However, once you know, just don't give him honey. During the reprocessing of honey, a type of botulinum toxin can be produced, and babies under one year old are prone to allergies to it. But since the child is already over one year old, they can have a little, but the concentration should not be too high and the amount should not be too much. If the stool is a bit dry, you can eat some oatmeal porridge (or blend it into oatmeal paste), as this is the most effective for relieving constipation. You should also drink more hot water during the day. It's best to have a regular bowel movement every day, which treats the root of the problem.
