Notes
- To make this puree, always look for bananas that have a nice yellow colour with fewer brown spots. Green bananas or under-ripe do not have the same flavour or creamy consistency and also harder to digest for your baby.
- Stop feeding the bananas to your baby if the baby is constipated or got cold while introducing a particular banana variety.
- If the banana is ripe than you don’t need to use any processor or blender. You can simply mash it with a fork. Add water, breast milk or formula milk to get the desired consistency and texture.
- If you want to freeze the puree, add a few drops of fresh lemon or orange juice. This helps prevent the puree from browning.
