-no, castor oil + honey should not be used for your baby. About Honey -Never give honey to babies under 1 year It can cause infant botulism, which is very serious and life-threatening Even a tiny amount (mixed with anything) is unsafe -Castor oil -Acts as a strong laxative Can cause: Severe diarrhea Dehydration Abdominal cramps Absolutely not recommended for babies, especially newborns - about baby tummy cleaning -No 😊 A newborn’s digestive system cleans and regulates itself naturally. Babies do not need internal cleansing Gas is very common, especially in formula-fed newborns Occasional gas does not mean the tummy is dirty or blocked

Castor oil and honey are NOT safe for newborn babies. Honey can cause serious infection (botulism) in babies Castor oil is very strong and can harm the baby A newborn baby does not need tummy cleaning. The baby’s stomach cleans naturally.
