Many patients write to us asking whether to see a neurologist or orthopedist for herniated discs. This is an excellent question, to be sure, and my experiences over the years have changed my opinion as to the ideal answer.
Just because you CAN introduce honey at 12 months doesnât mean that you SHOULD â and after 12 months of carefully avoiding sugary foods in your little oneâs diet, thereâs no reason to start giving them now! Now, there IS research to support the fact that certain types of honey do have some redeeming features.
Avoid Milk and Honey. Most pediatricians say you should wait until after your baby's first birthday to start offering cow's milk. Thatâs because some babies may have a hard time digesting it before then. And, don't give honey to babies younger than 1 year (some pediatricians say up to 2 years). Thatâs because of a possible botulism risk that a baby's developing immune system can't fend off.
