Can i feed a pinch of organic bee pollen powder to my baby?

I add some to my health drinks and i was just wondering if i can add some to my sons bottle.Can i feed a pinch of organic bee pollen powder to my baby?
I wouldn't-- you can't even give babies honey for the first year because they can develop a botulism. Since pollen, like honey, is not pasteurized you run the same risk.





Why the pollen? There are others natural ways to enhance babies health if needed. Breast feeding, of course, provides the best immunities, vitamins, minerals a baby can have.Can i feed a pinch of organic bee pollen powder to my baby?
well, this is certainly a lot better than moms putting pepsi in their infant';s bottles :)





However, as other said I would not give this to a child under one year old as it may cause allergies and honey is unsafe to give to infants and bee pollen may also be.





If you are breastfeeding, some of it and a healthy diet you eat will come through in the breast-milk. also nursing itself will reduce allergies\





when the child passes one year old if you want to give them herbal meds, teas, tinctures or supplement, use this method to figure out what your child's dose will be

I commend you for your commitment to using alternative means to health and good nutrition. an early start in life with a good diet will have lifelong effects and build good habits. Teach often to help them when school comes along to try to sabotage your work and nutritional training. I tried to turn the school itself around when it was eating very unhealthy foods in kindergarten snacks, lunches, and carnival days with good success.





when the school reinforce good eating and teach about nutrition in fun ways like I did when I taught or have organic gardens the kid's work in and help prepare the foods, one would be surpised what kid's will eat and how they will change the eating of their whole family for the better..they love things like kale when they pepare and grow it.





when I was student teaching and doing a food groups lesson plan, and doing veggies, I brought in a sea veggie (dulse)..the teacher said none of then will eat it and was shocked when 4/5 of the class not only ate it, but loved it and asked for seconds. I remember one of my kid's favorite snacks was dulse baked with cheese (although I no longer consider cheese to be very healthy)..kids are amazing in picking up what we model and yours has a good head start :) but hold off on the bee pollen a little while longer. maybe you could add a little wheat grass juice or powder or spirulina or something along those lines to the bottle if desired








I drafted a good letter for the parent's with the kindergarten's teacher's ok with a list of many creative and fun, nutritious alternatives to the cookies sent n (the parents each had a day they sent in snacks for the whole class and it was always cookies I noted when I worked as an aid in that class prior to my younger son being a student..that year we only had 2 days of the whole school year parents sent in cookies and had many creative things sent in that parents enjoyed selecting and preparing and kid's enjoyed eating. It was a lot of fun.
I would seriously ask the doctor before doing it.





They advise babies under one to not have honey because honey can contain botulism spores that can be deadly to babies.





I'm not sure if that is the same with bee pollen so it would be best to get professional advice.
I really don't know but I would hold off until he's a year old OR zap it in the microwave to kill bacteria. The big bold word in the honey disclaimers is that honey COULD contain dangerous bacteria that MIGHT be fatal to infants.
I would not. Not before I ask his pediatrician to be absolutely sure. This can cause severe reactions in infants, breathing etc. BE SURE BE SAFE.
