I use Floradix Floravital for my DS and you are right that the iron in this form is most readily absorbed compared to any iron fortified food. On my bottle is says it is fine for babies, but I would still give the company a call just to check which of their (many) products would be most appropriate for your baby and if the honey would be an issue. It is a really reputable brand, so I imagine it would be fine.
Has some-one suggested your little one might be iron deficient? Babies lay down stores of iron while you are pregnant. Breastmilk is low in iron, but what there is is fully absorbed by the body. By 6mnths babies are starting to eat family foods in addition to breastmilk, and meat can be one of these foods anytime soon (when he's mastered the art of eating)
