Jane, Please accept my congratulations too! Regarding your question about the risk of botulism, I think you needn't worry. My understanding is that the possible problem with young children arises because of differences in the infant gut which may allow the bacterium to multiply there. With adults this doesn't happen because of the acidic environment. The recommendation at present seems to be not to feed honey (which may contain the bacterial spores) to infants under one year old. However, at present Baby Power is not feeding directly but via his/her mother so the problem won't arise. It's just oral ingestion in the first year after birth that should be avoided.
