Most of us know that kids under 1 year old should not eat honey . But many people think this is not a serious situation and during my carrier i met few cases for babies who got a serious disease called floppy baby due to ingestion of honey .
Most of the honey we eat is contaminated by a bacterial spores called clostridium . This bacterial spores are removed from our developed GI system ,however for new born and babies their digestive system is not well developed yet and can't remove this bacteria from the body.
Floppy baby disease is the syndrome related to ingestion of contaminated honey which leads to a decrease of muscle tone, and may lead to late development and even death
