Hello, Please do not give honey and castor oil to babies. Take care, Kind regards.
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.
