Banana Mashed ripe banana is an excellent first food for baby. As discussed on page 360, bananas are nutritious and very easy for your baby to digest. Many other cultures use banana exclusively as their first baby food. I personally wouldn't be concerned about that. If you've ever tasted brewer's yeast you know what I mean.
Banana skins are porous, allowing the fungicides to be absorbed into the flesh.
Try to buy only certified organically-grown bananas. Avocado Mashed ripe avocado is also an excellent first food for baby. They are so nutritious that some claim humans can live on them exclusively. Avocados are also an excellent source of the unsaturated fatty acids that your baby needs for brain development. See page 359 for more information on avocados.
