This fruit is very popular in Russia; many adults and children love it. Banana has a sweet taste and delicate texture, which is a big plus for a product that is used as a complementary food. When can you offer your child these overseas fruits?
Instructions
Step 1
Nutritionists recommend introducing a baby to a banana no earlier than 6-7 months. At the same time, a new fruit should be introduced as carefully as other types of complementary foods. The first serving is about half a teaspoon in the morning. If there are no allergic reactions, you can gradually increase the dose to 50-100 g of mashed banana per day.
Step 2
Bananas are very high in calories and satisfy hunger well, this is due to the fact that they contain a lot of sugar. Therefore, experts advise giving the child a banana after he is used to more sour fruits (apple, pear, peach).
Step 3
Banana contains a large amount of vitamin C and PP, as well as a number of essential minerals (potassium, iron, sodium, phosphorus). These fruits have a relatively small proportion of fiber, pectin and tannins, due to which they are perfectly absorbed and normalize the functioning of the digestive tract. Bananas have a mild laxative effect and can be used in the diet of babies prone to constipation.
