Ripe bananas are not a typical choking hazard for babies as they are soft and easy to breakdown in the mouth. Make sure to serve ripe bananas with a deep yellow color and a few brown spots to ensure the texture is soft but not too mushy. Overripe brown bananas are too squishy for a baby to pick up and bring to their mouth for self-feeding purposes. Unripe green bananas are too firm and more difficult for your little one to chew down and swallow, posing a possible choking risk. The simplest and safest way is to serve your baby ripe soft bananas in strips/chunks or mashed/ pureed form.
