Starting Solids 2.1 - Going Bananas

I'm a huge fan of the Kerala banana. It's not a very squishy squishy banana. It has longer shelf life than other bananas and has loads of nutritional values too. A steamed Kerala banana is a healthy starter for a baby. Here are some things that will attract a new mommy to a Kerala banana ...

* Travelling mommies - this banana has longer shelf life compared to others. The fruit is a solid feed for a baby during travel.
* Feeding your baby one banana keeps them full for over four hours.
* Bananas are a great companion to mommies who are in a hurry. No stoves. No cleaning.
* Your baby's bowel movements are great when they eat bananas.
* Easy to feed - just peel, smash and feed.
* As your baby grows, you can feed them the banana raw without steaming. Fruit for the day - done.


There is another wonderful healthy banana - highly rich in iron. It's the Red Banana. For those babies who need their iron, do have the red banana.


Tip : Bananas : A banana fed baby's stool has black wormish looking things. Nothing to panic. (I did, big time). Don't call your doctor, don't freak out, don't go bananas. It's just the bananas.
