how to make banana baby food

We keep bananas separate from veggies so their sweetness doesn’t overpower more complex flavors. Babies learn to enjoy bananas for their natural taste, while still being exposed to a wide variety of other fruits and vegetables.

4–6 Months: Smooth Mash

  • Mash a ripe banana until silky smooth.

  • Add a little breastmilk or formula for extra creaminess.

7–9 Months: Textured Mash

  • Lightly mash for more texture as baby begins to chew.

  • Mix with oatmeal or yogurt for a nutrient-dense meal.

10–12 Months: Finger Food

  • Serve banana slices rolled in crushed cereal for easy grip.

  • Offer soft banana pieces with nut butter spread thinly.

12+ Months: Whole Food
