Not unpasteurized: There is no clear statement on honey use in pregnancy except what is the same for most foods: know your source. Foods can be contaminated in ways the consumer does know about. Also unpasteurized honey can be risky. See this article: http://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/honey/safety/hrb-20059618

Probably: it is probably safe for the pregnant mother to consume honey by and infant under 1 year of age should not be exposed to honey due to the risk of botulism
