No: not a good idea for babies that young - only after age 1. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2546017/Babies-left-fighting-lives-getting-botulism-eating-honey.html

No : Do NOT give honey to your 2 month old. Honey can be very dangerous in a child less than 1 year old. 2 month olds don't typically get sore throats and honey won't cure a stuffy nose. If your 2 month old is sick, they should be evaluated by a pediatrician. If they have a fever, they need to be seen urgently.
