Maximum daily dose for children under 3 years old - 1.5 hours, children over 3 years old - 1.5-2 tbsp. l.
Honey - product. The whole reason lies in pollen colors, of which the bee collected honey. It should be aware of which honey is assembled and there is no allergy on this plant. For example, if a child has polynosis (allergic runny nose) on the sunflower pollen, then honey collected from its colors can also cause polynosis. It will benefit to the child, he will bring less than harm. Allergic reaction to honey is manifested in the form of rashes on the skin (from small elements to generalized urticaria), sneezing, tears, pain in the abdomen, diarrhea, vomiting, in rare cases of suffocation.

Fresh honey liquid consistency, it solidifies it for 2-8 weeks.

How to choose good honey for a child

The benefit brings only a natural product, without unnecessary impurities. You can find an artificial option produced without the participation of bees. Such honey baby and older children are contraindicated. The quality of the product of botanical origin is evaluated by several criteria. It is sometimes mistaken here, buying non-fatty honey.

Characteristics of natural honey

Indicator	Description
Consistency	Fresh product is a viscous liquid that is calmly merged with a spoon. After a few months, it thickens, crystallizes (supar). A weathered product is wound on a spoonful ribbon, and flows with her threads.
Smell and taste	Honey acquires the properties of those plants from which the bees collected nectar. Therefore, there must be characteristic floral notes in the smell. If the fragrance is poorly expressed, then this is a falling product. This honey should have a sour cooling taste of sweets.
Color	It also depends on the type of plant, may have different shades. The predominant is yellow, it is determined by it, linden or acacia honey. Buckwheat gives a brownish shade, Creeps - white. Other colors are found, but such a product is better than children (especially with a green tint).

Note! If winter is offered to buy liquid honey, you can talk about falsification. By this time, natural balm should already suprate.

In order not to make a mistake with the choice of the product, it is recommended when buying "to remove the sample". Taking a portion of honey in the mouth, he is not swallowed, and for a few minutes they roll in the language, listening to taste. If the sweetness does not melt for a long time, it speaks about the poor quality of the product.

At home, you can check honey in this way. In the glass of water dissolve 1 tbsp. Bee Balzama. If the product without impurities, the liquid will be merged, but nothing will fall into the sediment.

How many months to enter into the lure

Knowing the benefits of Balzam, some moms are smeared by cracks on nipples (for rapid healing). At the same time, they do not even think if Honey can be infants, because the grandmothers and great-grandmothers acted. Sometimes, to calm the baby, the nipple looked into the product and gave Karapauz.

Is it possible to give a child up to a year

There are mothers who do not pay attention to WHO's recommendations on the norms of the newborn dust and act on their own. They do not think, from what age you can give a child to honey, and begin to do it very early. Such carelessness can lead to negative consequences:

In children, until the year, the digestive system is imperfect and only begins to acquire its own microflora. Bee honeycombs contain a wand of botulism, whose disputes fall into a sweet product. The kid has no high acidity of gastric juice. Therefore, honey, even in a small quantity, having fallen into the gastrointestinal tract, becomes an excellent nutritional environment for the development of Bacill. This resulting in child poisoning.

Bee balm is a strong allergen. The reaction provokes not honey itself, but some components of a multicomponent product. Not yet to the end, the generated immune system can react with a rash, swelling and even a strong suffocation.

If in the family there were cases of allergies to the insect bites or the product itself, then with breastfeeding, mom is better not to introduce honey in the kid lure up to the year.

The opinion of Dr. Komarovsky

The pediatrician is popular for all Russian mothers in the question of whether Honey is it possible to refrain from this product to 1.5-2 years. If Mom is confident that there will be no harm to the bee balm, Komarovsky says that it is possible to start experimenting not earlier than 10 months of age (but it is better to wait until the year).

By this time, the enzymatic system will already establish its activities, and the baby will easily cope with a complex product.

Norma feeding with honey for a one-year-old child

Before entering a new ingredient in the kid's lure, the mother includes it in his diet and observes the reaction of the children's body. It is also the case with honey: starting from the 10th month after childbirth, the woman gradually tastes the bee sweetness. If the kid after that adequately perceives breast milk, closer to the year mom is allowed to take a chance to give Karapuz a little sweet product from the apiary.

In what amount to give

In order for the body to calmly accepted honey, the first time mom complies a little milk and breeds them a small drop of a sweet product. You can also use a mixture or conventional water.

During the day, the child's condition is controlled. If all is well, honey can be added to teas and other lures on such a scheme:

first for ¼ ch. l.;
then 1/3 tsp;
next - by ½ tsp

So continue until the standard reaches 1 tsp. in a day. If suddenly the baby starts to spill, then the product is removed from the diet or reduce its dose.

How often to give

Even if the infants have a normal reaction to honey, it is undesirable to enter it every day in the menu. It is better to limit the use of the product to 2-3 times a week. At the same time, knowing how much sweetness can be given a day, the daily rate should be divided into a couple of goals.

Often, the sweet product is added to warm milk and give it before bedtime, so that the infants fell asleep faster. With kids, it does not always work - honey can cause increased excitability. Therefore, sweetness is better introduced in feeding the first half of the day.

With which you can combine

The honey product should not be given a one-year-old child separately from other food (between feeding), it is better to combine something. Honey is a good alternative to sugar, so it is added to drinks. Mom can diversify the baby's menu, if you feed with such dishes:

karapuza will like porridge, refilled by honey; add sweetness to the cooled dish so that the product does not lose its value;
well combined honey with cottage cheese and fruit-berry supplements;

if you bake a zucchini or pumpkin, vegetables can be pulled by pre-melted honey;
it will be useful to be a salad of fresh fruits with the addition of nuts, refilled by a sweet product.

Honey is perfectly combined with most ingredients, reinforcing their nutritional value. In order for feeding to the baby to benefit, adhere to the necessary norms of the introduction of honey into the diet.

Possible nutrition problems

Balm from the apiary is not a panacea from all diseases. The product itself is capable of provoking a number of diseases. In young children, this can manifest itself with atopic dermatitis, diathesis or a stronger allergic reaction, which will lead to deposits.

Signs of allergies on honey

Important! Food allergies affects the cardiovascular kid system. In combination with other symptoms, it can lead to anaphylactic shock.

Such reactions occur on a natural product, the cause becomes pollen grains that have fallen into honey with nectar. Together with these components, harmful substances fall on the colors growing in zones with a bad ecology.

The inadequate reaction of the small man on honey is caused by the imperfection of the digestive system that produces protective enzymes in small quantities. This leads to the mechanism of desensitization, which starts an allergic reaction.

Before entering a sweet product with an apiary, the mother should make sure whether a honey is a chest baby. Even valuable balm is able to harm if it is mindless to use it. Allergic in young children is manifested by serious symptoms. Therefore, it is better not to hurry with similar additives in the menu, and wait when Karapuzu turns 2 years.

Video

Almost every person since childhood knows about the undoubted benefits of honey. This natural product is the source of sucrose, fructose and glucose, as well as vitamins of group B, vitamin E, K, C, provitamin A. It is useful for pregnant women due to the content of folic acid, and people on the diet replaces white sugar.

By previous generations, it was used as a natural baby nutrition sweetener. But modern pediatricians are categorically against such use of honey. Why are modern doctors against the introduction of him in lures and is it possible to eat honey?

Is it possible to give honey to children

Honey children should be given with caution. Despite naturalness, this product has a number of contraindications. It is a strong allergen, so applying it for nutrition and treatment should be neat and reasonable.

To enter in the food diet honey follows in small portions. For children of allergies, other bee products are shown: propolis, royal milk, Perga. But they need to use them under the control of the pediatrician.

Responding to a question from what age honey children should be focused on the opinion of children's doctors, which categorically do not recommend this product to the newborn.

Older children can give honey delicacy with small portions, but here the opinion of the doctors were divided. Some pediatricians allow the use of the product from three years, others are recommended to enter it into a diet of 1-2 years, if there is no allergy.

Cost of consumption per day

The daily use of honey will help strengthen the children's skeleton, protect against colds, reassure the nervous system, increase the level of hemoglobin, improve the operation of the digestive tract. The bee product contributes to mental development, is used to treat Enuris.

Babies up to the year, the use of honey can only harm. The digestive and immune system of infants are imperfect, so they will not be able to effectively cope with microbes that penetrate the body together with the product. The product of beekeeping is nonzero. Bees when collecting nectar interact with various far from pure matter. The body of an adult and schoolboy successfully copes with penetration into the organism of microbes, while the baby may develop a dangerous disease of botulism.

When you enter the Honey menu, follow the following rules:

children before the year is prohibited by consumption;
kids 1-3 years old with caution at half a teaspoon, dividing a portion into several techniques per day;
preschoolers 3-5 years old can be eaten no more than 10 g;
junior schoolchildren 6-9 years old are allowed to increase the daily rate of up to 30 g;
schoolchildren are 9-15 years old give the norm of an adult - 70.

In the absence of rash, redness and other skin reactions, a baby massage can be useful. Children can make a massage for the speedy deliverance from ORVI. If the side effects occur, the procedure immediately cancel.

Harm harm

In addition to undoubted benefits, honey can bring harm to the body. In addition to allergies and botulism, young children, honey abuse leads to the early development of caries and excessive weight gain. Therefore, the product should be applied in accordance with the table of daily norms.

In order to avoid problems with teeth, you should teach the child to use a toothbrush after each meal. If you clean your teeth there is no possibility, it is enough to rinse your mouth with clean water.

Predict the effect of honey on the body is sometimes impossible, the use can cause itching, disorder of digestion and headache.

Therefore, up to 6 years it is better to do without this product, especially if there is no sharp need to give it to a child.

Signs of an allergic reaction

The bee product is the same strong allergen as nuts, citrus, eggs, fish, chocolate. Therefore, if a child has different reactions, it is necessary to stop entering honey into the food diet.

When allergic, the child may have the following signs:

itching, swelling and redness of the skin;
shortness of breath and cough;
tear, swelling and redness of the eyes;
headache;
eyerage of the nasal mucosa, the appearance of a runny nose;
tongue and throat swells;
the emergence of nausea and abdominal pain;
the appearance of diarrhea.

If one or more signs are observed without concomitant diseases, it is better to cancel honey and consult a doctor to establish the cause of such organism reactions.

Undoubted benefit

Allergy is an individual feature of the body to a specific product or the non-functional component. Children in the overwhelming majority bee products are transported well. The children who ate honey were less likely to suffer from a shortage of vitamins, anemia, colds, pain in the throat, anxiety, weightless weight.

A child eating honey in the age norm is less likely to suffer from problems with memory and night incontinence of urine. Parents should give a product, after consulting with a pediatrician or attending physician.

Is it possible to give sweet honey kids who still suck the mother's chest? If not, how old can you give honey without fears? Is this product useful as they say about him, and is there any risk to cause a newborn allergic reaction? What do doctors think about the common parental practice - to lubricate a dude to honey to make the baby quickly fall asleep? We will answer these and other questions in our article.

Honey has many useful properties, but its improper use can harm the child's health.

On the healing properties of Honey, our ancestors knew back in the distant antiquity. The people of the older generation and today consider it a truly magic product that saves from many diseases - it is not surprising that our grandmothers love to offer milk with honey to their grandchildren. But before the young parents begin to treat their kids to honey, it would be helpful to know in advance, since it is recommended to give it to children to not harm.

None of the pediatricres objects about the healing properties of Honey:

this product is famous for a pleasant taste, and even capricious kids will be taught with pleasure;
parents can be given honey to children in cases where you want to limit them in sweet;
useful recipes of traditional medicine, in which honey is used as a means of cold and cough, are probably stored in the arsenal of each family.

Honey has a pleasant taste, replaces sweet and well helps in the treatment of cold and cough.

What lures danger

Nevertheless, doctors warn parents from excessive worship before this golden and driving delicacy. Alas, but the honey itself is an extremely strong allergen, and, instead of improving the health of your crumbs, you risks it serious harm. This is associated with several factors.

The biological activity of Honey is so great that he gives him an infant child in the first year of life dangerous. The stormy reaction to the product in the kid can develop so rapidly that you just do not have time to deliver it to the hospital, where he will have the necessary help. The child can easily be killed in your hands from anaphylactic shock!
If you begin to introduce newborn to the diet of honey, the risk of developing a serious illness - botulism. This is severe food poisoning, accompanied by intoxication and lesion of the central nervous system.
The risk of urticaria and itching, runny nose, strong headaches will increase dramatically.
Children appear in excess weight, where it is already before obesity nearby.

It is not a fact that all these troubles will occur with your baby, because the reaction to the products is individual. But this is exactly the case when experimenting means to expose the life of newborn danger. Remember - to give honey to children up to the year categorically impossible!

A strong allergic reaction to honey in a child can lead to anaphylactic shock.

Lubrication of nipples honey as a means in order to calm the baby, it is generally nonsense. Sweet at such a young age, even in microscopic doses, extremely undesirable. Allergic reaction is able to cause a small portion. Also, do not forget about the threat of caries (honey for emerging children's toys too sweet) and diabetes.

Whether children need a honey at an early age

Doctors argue that in the first year of life to give honey to a child without need. Judge for yourself.

Baby, being on breastfeeding, and so gets with Mother's milk all the components that the body needs for successful development.
Honey, not even if he is so allergen, it is hardly absorbed, so do not overload them a children's body.

From five to six months, the kids are allowed to give lures that their organism began to receive additional vitamins and minerals. But in these cases, it is quite possible to do with other products. The queue will reach the honey even soon.

Children on breastfeeding receive all the necessary substances with Mother's milk, therefore do not need to do with honey.

Does Honey are not dangerous after a year

After all above, a reasonable fear may well appear at any parent: Is it possible to give honey for older children, those who have already been coming up or more? Maybe it's better not to risk up to two to three years?

In full refusal to honey to two or even three years, doctors need not see. However, in order not to risk, you can completely abandon the honey to three years, if you do not see any sharp need to enter it into a diet. Even if a three-year-old child and negative reactions will appear, at this age they will not be so scary.

However, everything should be in moderation. Drashing with honey at any age should not. Remember yet that it is not just sweetness, but also an active biological product. And he, like other substances of this kind, there are contraindications and side effects.

Even in the two- and three years of age, Honey gives a child with caution.

When Honey is desirable

But in those cases where the kid has already been a year old and he has health problems, honey is very useful. It happens when:

the child has a weakened immunity;
breasts often countable;
the kid is tailing with respiratory diseases.

In such cases, let me honey, but with reasonable caution. This product has unique properties, for example, with the help of honey, it is possible to deal with fungal infections, children's candidiasis in the mouth.

But, we repeat, gradually teach the organism of the crumbs to this product, you need after a year, in no way before.

In what cases honey one year old baby does not hurt

The organism of the crumbs successfully assists the honey in cases where:

one-year-old kid is completely healthy;
he has no allergic reactions to other products, which he tried a lot to this age;
all adults in the family use bee products without any consequences.

Giving a one-year-old baby honey in small quantities can be possible only when it is absolutely not inclined to allergies.

Many parents ask whether Honey needs to be limited to certain daily norms, giving it to children. Yes, the doctors insist that, when entering honey, age dosages are respected in the diet of kids. We bring them in the table.

Also when entering honey to the children's diet, follow the following rules:

it is impossible to eat the entire portion at a time, divide it on 2 -3 portions smaller (we indicated this in the table);
it is advisable to eat children only with a liquid drink, since the cell honey is not suitable for them.

It is categorically impossible to breed honey in boiling water. At temperatures above 60 ° all vitamins and enzymes are destroyed. Moreover, a toxic carcinogen is also formed in honey - a poison that can accumulate in the liver and cause food poisoning over time.

Adding to the diet

Any new product in the kid's diet should be administered with caution to reduce the possible negative effect to a minimum. Honey, as we found out, has high allergenic properties, which is why before its use parents need to spend a kind of allergen test at their child. This is done as follows.

First, a small amount of honey you need to smear on the inside of the wrist crumbs. Next to trace, whether there will be no redness in this place until the evening, will the little itch, etc., will not begin at the kid.
If everything is normal, give the next day the baby taste a few droplets honey on a sampleAnd again trace until the end of the day there is a possible allergic reaction.
Only on the third day you can give the baby to eat half or a complete teaspoon of honey, depending on the norm specified in the table.

It is necessary to start giving honey from one droplet, and the maximum dose should not exceed half a teaspoon.

Although the honey is most useful to eat in its pure form, for example, drinking it in tea, you can still feed them your baby:

adding a spoonful of honey to kissel or compote;
sweetening a cottage cheerle or kish. Such a honey product for children really like;
running it in warm milk or tea (with a temperature not higher than 60 °, be sure to remember this).

It will be not bad if instead of the usual candy and chocolate, harmful enough for children, you teach your baby to honey.

How to make compress with honey

If your baby often caresses, and at the same time the disease is accompanied by a cough, you can use honey as a medicine, but not for receiving inside, but to create a special honey compression. Such a compress helps to effectively get rid of cough, and the cold itself is treated.

Honey compress has the following healing properties:

bronchi warms;
expands vessels;
it helps strengthen blood circulation.

You can even make such a compression, although you must first have an allergic test.As we indicated earlier.

Here is the simplest recipe of honey compress.

Take the fresh and elastic cabbage sheet, they apply honey to it, wrap and then applied to the chest or back. It helps very well from cough. Cabbage leaves themselves can be dipped first in boiling water to make them softer and "obedient".
The applied sheets are covered with food film, then patted with a towel to the body so that they keep them tight.

It is advisable to make such a compress before bedtime for the lying baby. During the night, honey will fully warm both the chest and the back.

Summary

Given all the features of the honey as a highly active biological substance, you can make the following conclusion: to give it to small children who have not yet fulfilled at least a year - a very dangerous lottery. It all depends on the individual tolerance of the baby. Parent, giving honey at such an early age, risks greatly.

There are parents who will hide their children with honey almost with a pellery, and after they do not repent what he grows healthy and plump. In the future they may seriously auch. Other dads and mothers have the first to enter honey to the diet of the crumbs ends with sleepless voyages in the hospital bed, after the baby saved from anaphylactic shock.

children to the year to give honey categorically impossible;
kids up to three years to give him undesirable if they do not have any particular need for this;
