Honey in Weetabix/Porridge
Hello,
I’ve been adding a drizzle of honey to my 16 month olds weetabix and porridge last two day and he seems to love it. Just wondering if it’s okay to add honey? Like nutrition/health wise?

It's ok from 12 months but it's still sugar even though it's natural, so best to moderate how much to avoid tooth decay and developing too much of a sweet tooth! Mashed banana is a great alternative to sweeten breakfast
Depending on what honey you use, you can buy Manuka honey is a lot more expensive because it isn’t processed and is pure honey. X
My little one loves honey on his Weetabix and we do this most days. He eats a healthy and balanced diet and so I’m not worried at all! The amount he has actually has a really small amount of sugar x

They are allowed honey from the age of 1 but only every now and then. It is a sugar so too much can affect their teeth :) x
