[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it helps, OP, I looked up some information on honey and infants.  In California, 550,000 babies were born and the number of babies with infant botulism from honey were 6.3 per 100,000 live births.  So about 30 cases a year in California.

So infants do get botulism from honey, if you need statistics to show to your DH and MIL.

I wouldn't be combative about this, as PP noted, parents may not know about current car seat recommendations, SIDS back-to-sleep, or honey.  We educate them as we go along.[/quote]

Some parents are resistant to change and get offended if they sense they are being educated. When I tried to show something similar to your stats to my MIL, she rolled her eyes and said that science is BS and she will rely on things that work for her. She then followed up with a spill regarding how she watches TV, and scientists there change recommendations every month. [/quote]
