I know that babies cannot eat honey, but my mother-in-law also fed honey to her children, what harm will it do?

    Children under the age of one cannot eat honey because honey contains botulinum, which can cause symptoms of poisoning in infants and young children. Infants younger than 6 months are more likely to contract the disease. Symptoms of poisoning often occur 8 to 36 hours after eating honey or foods containing honey. Symptoms often include constipation, fatigue, and loss of appetite. Although the chance of botulism in infants is small, it is also very dangerous.
