OT--nursing moms

QUick Question
I have had a bad cold or just the crud for a few days. A friend at work game me a home remedy----1/4 cup honey (localized) ans a small tsp. cinnamon--heat it up and take. My question is--do you think it is ok for me to eat the honey since I am nursing? I know that under 1 they should not have honey--just not sure how that translates to BF babies. Thanks

I am quite sure it's OK. So is kellymom.com.

But you're going to eat a 1/4 cup of honey?

Supposed to heat to make like a drink type thing. At this point I will try anything. I hate medicine and noy really sure what to take while nursing---this is longest I have ever made it 4.5 mths and was never sick while nursing the others.

You are definitely ok eating honey - feel better soon!

Honey is fine for you. Your own digestive system will kill any potential botulism spores you might encounter. It's probably one of the safest cough remedies and it won't dry up your milk like some medications will
go for it!

I hope it works! A couple years ago I had a couple nasty colds, and I chopped up garlic, put it in a spoon, and covered it with honey. Swallowed it down a few days in a row, and man oh man did it make me feel better! Of course using as natural a honey as you can find, not necessarily the stuff in a plastic bear-shaped jar.

The other already covered the nursing but I wanted to offer my favorite drink for feeling better. Tea and honey. I put in a BIG glob of honey (coat the bottom of the cup completely) and then fill it with hot water. Dissolve the honey into the hot water by mixing it around and then put the tea bag in. It works wondering in making me feel better (and is tasty too!).

Feel better!

Yes, honey is fine
