This recipe is obviously for children over 1yr of age, as it has several ingredients that are only suggested for children over the the age of 1 year. Please do not serve this biscuit to your infant, who would do better with a water and rice flour type biscuit.

Babies under one year should not have honey, either raw or baked into a product. Honey may contain botulism spores. These spores are very heat resistant and can survive even baking. Once inside an infants gut, which is still at a low acidity level, they can multiply and grow and produce a potent toxin that can be life threatening. After about a year, the acidity level of the GI tract as risen to a level that is inhospitable to the spores and renders them harmless. I almost died of butulism when I was a student (18 y/o) traveling in Spain. Be safe!

I know they're for teething, but you have to assume that the munchkins will eat a little of the biscuit in the chewing process and it's worrying to see honey in there. In the UK you're advised not to feed babies honey until they're over 1 year old as some varieties of honey have botulism in it and babies being little, their immune systems aren't fully developed enough to protect against it.
