Doesn't like banana?!

[*Sam*]

My lo is weird - she hates banana. I've tried giving her chunks to feed herself and mashing it up with some milk, but she just turns her head away. Should I just skip bananas for now and move on? She likes avocado and loves sweet potato. Should I stick with those for now or introduce some new things? TIA

DS only likes fresh bananas VERY ripe.

My ds hates it too. I think it's a texture thing..they are pretty slimy when mashed. It may be one of those foods you have to offer a million tims before they take it.

My DS didn't like banana either. So far he likes sweet potato & carrot. We're going to try butternut squash next.

Ditto. In fact DJ was mooching like a puppy the other day in group and another mother asked me if it was OK to share w/him what they were eating. I said sure. Not only did he take the banana out of his mouth and hand it back to the Mother he then got behind her to he could watch over her shoulder while Sophia (the little girl) ate it. He had the most horrified look on his face! He looked like he really couldn't believe she liked it!

That's hilarious, Shelly!

Kesiah was on the fence about banana until she got good at holding it in the peel. She was put off by the slimy-ness. Don't sweat it, though, there are plenty of other fruit in the sea

My DD is not very keen on bananas either. She chokes on it, shakes her body, and makes that face. She prefers sweet potatoe. She would eat a truckload of it.
