Bananas are a great first food for babies. They are easy to digest and full of nutrients that are important for growing babies. Bananas can be given to 6 month old babies in a few different ways. They can be mashed, pureed, or cut into small pieces.
Mashed bananas are a good option for first time eaters. Simply take a ripe banana and mash it up with a fork or blender. If the banana is too thick, you can add a little bit of water or breast milk to thin it out. Pureed bananas are also an easy way to give your baby banana for the first time. You can either buy pre-made baby food or make your own by blending ripe bananas in a food processor or blender until they reach a smooth consistency.
If you want to give your baby some chunks of banana to gum on, start by cutting the banana into small rounds or slices. Make sure that the pieces are small enough that they won’t pose a choking hazard. You can also offer larger pieces as your baby gets older and is able to handle them better.
Bananas are packed with nutrients that are essential for growing babies, so don’t hesitate to add them to your baby’s diet!
