honey allergies pregnancy
Posted: 02-29-08 16:31pm

Ok...so I have tried pretty much everything possible for my allergies. I can't really take much as far as meds go....at least long enough to really do any good. My uncle told me to take a Tablespoon of local honey everyday and that is suppose to help. Well I mentioned this to someone yesterday and they said that honey is dangerous for babies. I googled it and it said that during pregnancy it is ok to take cause it goes through my digestion first before getting to the baby. Does anyone know anything about this?? Is it ok for me to be taking honey?? I don't want to do anything to hurt my baby and I feel like I call my doc every week with something. Just thought I would check here first.

Thanks.

honey is fine for you. it's dangerous and a no-no for babies under 1, but only after they're born.

the only problem would be the fact it's so high in sugar. Which of course can be bad in high doses, but a tablespoon of honey a day actually sounds good. I think I might start doing that.

Random fact-Honey doesn't spoil. They have found it in Egyptian tombs and it was still good. Weird huh?
