Infant Botulism

I read that honey, corn syrup and other sweeteners are dangerous for babies under 12 months and it can cause botulism. Because the digestive juices of babies are less acidic than older children and adults and maybe less likely to destroy ingested pores. Infant Botulism is a very dangerous disease and its the leading cause of 100 deaths per year in the US.
so please do not give your infants honey or corn syrup or any sweeteners, hold them off till they are a year old!
Here is something funny i read online- its about a 13 yr old boy who ( actually look and sound like an 8 yr old!) her girlfriend pregnant and she had a baby. here what he had to say "I thought it would be good to have a baby. I didn't think about how we would afford it. I don't really get pocket money. My dad sometimes gives me £10.” Alfie, who is just 4ft tall, added: “When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get in trouble. We wanted to have the baby but were worried how people would react.I didn't know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good, though, and care for it.”

  1. interesting stuff. a 13yr old with a baby. what is the world coming to. i remember vividly when i was 13 and in secondary school. In those days the most you could do to a girl was write a love letter or send flowers. In fact you were lucky if you got to hold her hand and probably a bad boy if you hugged her. hahahahahah. these day the kids teens are doing what we did in our 20s. hmm

  2. Even though the original post is quite old, I can't help commenting on it. I like what your pastor said about God commanding women to respect their husbands because men need respect and about men loving their wives because women need love. Here's my take on it: I firmly believe that God commanded women to respect their husbands because it's easier for women to love our men than it is for us to respect them. Probably because they're big babies and act all macho and silly sometimes, while we're usually careful planners and managers. Next, God asked men to love their wives because it's easier for them to respect our brains and wisdom than it is for them to love someone who always bests them and who's always right and who nags them to keep them focused and on the straight and narrow! Cheers!
