“It’s best to avoid foods with added sugar like cakes and biscuits and any sweet drinks, including fruit juice, for babies,” Charlotte says.

Honey

One of the main foods many parents know to avoid if their baby is under a year old is honey.

This is because it can contain “toxins which can lead to infant botulism, a serious but very rare illness”.

Even if your child is over one, you should remember that honey is an added sugar, so shouldn’t be offered readily.
