Honey Instead Of Amrit?

'Prayer is the first thing that Sikh women do when they find out that they are pregnant. When the baby is born, the words of the Mool Mantar (a key prayer, composed by Guru Nanak) are whispered into the ears of the child and a drop of honey is placed inside the mouth.'

Dont ever give baby honey as it can cause botulism.
