Has anyone gave there baby honey yet?

So i was having some breakfast with LO this morning, he had porridge with banana and i had some toast topped with honey and banana. I let him try a slice and he absolutely DEVOURED it! I started reading up on honey again whilst he napped and ive freaked myself right out. They say no honey before the age of 1, however a lot of the advice mentions to avoid it entirely until 2, due to the risk of infant botulism🙈

Anyone else offered there LO's a try yet?

I’ve given my lg honey. She was just over a year. She normally has it with porridge! I work in a nursery and we’ve also said honey after 1.

I gave it recently to my little boy whos just turned 1, from what I've looked at they say age 2 due to it being incredibly sweet rather than due to botulism x

• Canned cheese sauce
• Canned tomatoes
• Carrot juice
• Baked potatoes wrapped in foil

You can catch it from these too 🥺

Something else to freak us out…
Most infant botulism cases cannot be prevented because the bacteria that causes the disease is in soil and dust. The bacteria can be found inside homes on floors, carpet, and countertops—even after cleaning. For almost all children and adults who are healthy, ingesting botulism spores is not dangerous and will not cause botulism (it’s the toxin that is dangerous). For reasons we do not understand, some infants get botulism when the spores get into their digestive tracts, grow, and produce the toxin.

RTW- Maternity Policy

I’m supposed to be returning to work in June however, don’t know if I want to yet. I’ve read in my maternity work policy that if I was entitled to enhanced maternity pay as well as statutory (which I was), if I leave my job while on maternity leave or within 3 months of being back then I will have to pay the enhanced maternity pay back to the company. Has anyone else experienced this and how do the payments work please?

Sad Relationship with my Mom

Hello 💕

I'm feeling so lonely lately being in a new country without any family. I reach out to my mom daily, but we haven't been close since I was in high school. She's not very involved in my life nor my son's (2yr). We lived under the same roof until a few months ago, but even then, she mostly kept her distance. My grandma is very much the same and bed bound. I don't know what I expected, but I am so sad about it. I wish I had a mom, aunt, older sister, or unrelated older woman friend to talk to. I see these relationships on TV and they make me so sad (and a bit jealous). Is anyone else in a similar situation?

Are you ladies bothered by your man having many female friends that are apparently as neutral as their male friends?

He’s had most of these female friends long before I met him so it’s not that I want him to discontinue their friendship, I just wish he wouldn’t text them often and such. I don’t believe he hangs out with them or at least not like one on one.. should I just chill and not be insecure? Side note, I did see only one conversation where they were not romantic per se but flirtatious..
