Is it good for newborn babies who have only been born for a few days to drink honey water?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

A newborn baby doesn't have breast milk to drink, it's best to give the baby formula, as drinking cow's milk and honey water is not recommended. Cow's milk has larger protein particles, which are difficult for newborns to absorb. Honey water is prone to botulism infection, so it's not suitable for infants. Adults can drink cow's milk and honey water during the postpartum period.
