Can children eat honey?

Honey is not only a delicacy that adults like, but also many children love to eat it. However, parents need to note that honey is not suitable for all children. Children should be careful not to drink too much honey. Babies around one year old are best not to drink it because their gastrointestinal system is not yet fully developed, and the body's resistance cannot block the elements of honey, which can easily cause allergies.

When is the best time for children to drink honey?

What competent mothers must remember is that although honey is a high-sugar and high-calorie food, the nutritional content in it is far lower than that of fresh fruits and vegetables, so the amount of honey consumed by children must be controlled.

We need to note that it is best for babies around one year old not to drink honey. The main reason is that the baby's gastrointestinal system is not very complete, and their resistance is not very strong, so they are prone to allergies.

Generally speaking, when children reach the age of ten, they can eat honey "as they please", but they must ensure that it is properly combined with other foods so as not to cause allergic symptoms.

Let’s take a look at how children aged 2-8 years old drink honey. Generally speaking, eating honey one and a half hours before or three hours after a child’s meal will not affect the child’s normal appetite, but will also help enhance the child’s appetite.

In addition, the organic matter and enzyme substances in honey can easily conflict with daily food. Therefore, after children eat honey, they should not eat leeks or tofu, etc. These foods mixed with honey will make the stomach uncomfortable.

Also, when eating honey, there are some foods that "complement each other", such as milk, fruit, potatoes or tomatoes, which can complement each other, balance the acidity and alkalinity, and maintain the stomach and intestines.
