I have a 6mo daughter, and coincidentally I was just reading about this earlier today in the childhood nutrition book "Food to Grow On". According to that book, botulism spores can survive the temperature that honey is pasteurized at (the same book does recommend feeding peanut products to young babies, so it is up-to-date with that area of research at least).

Unless you're positive that botulism wouldn't be an issue in pasteurized honey, I would suggest qualifying your comment with a note that you're just speculating rather than stating it as a fact.
