Can i drink honey during pregnancy?

Question

I like having honey with warm water in the morning, especially now when throat feels dry. I am 11 weeks and suddenly checking every food item. Is honey okay during pregnancy?

Haan beta thoda honey is fine, i used to take it with warm water for throat. Just keep the amount small, dont take big spoons daily. Pure honey from a good source na.

Honey is okay for adults during pregnancy but remember its still sugar. With my sugar issue i had to limit it a lot. If your reports are normal, a little in warm water for cold is fine.

I asked the same thing, my gynac said honey is safe for the mother, the warning about honey is only for infants below 1 year because of botulism risk. So you can have it, just dont overdo the sugar.

Yes you can, just in small amounts. The no-honey rule is only for babies under one year.
