Cinnamon or Nutmeg to taste; as baby’s palate develops

Method of Preparation:
Peel and purée bananas on a plate by mashing them down with a fork. You may add water, breast milk or formula for desired consistency. May be stored in refrigerator or freezer. Popsicle sticks may be added so bananas can be a natural teether. Adding puréed dates/prunes will remedy constipation. Cinnamon or nutmeg may be added as baby progresses.
