Hiya,

Sophia has recently become crazy for bananas which i think is brill, however, how many a day is ok? The reason i ask is that i had heard that for an adult, six bananas has too much pottasium so can be dangerous so that made me wonder how many is safe for a baby?

I have not given her more than two and a half a day but think this could be excessive. What do you guys think/know?

Thanks for your help, the last hing i want to do is harm her by giving her too much of something she likes, and in the correct amounts is ok for her.

Thanks,

Mandy x

I think the most i've given O is 2 a day. They do have high levels of potasium in but there is also other sources such as potatoes, broccoli and other stuff so you have to take that into consideration too.

Have a read of this link though and it kinda explains it
(read to the bottom though as there are updates)

Though i just found this which puts my mind at rest, might help other who are now querying banana intake.

Would still be good though to hear waht anyone else says too,

thanks

Glad you asked this... Aimee is crazy over them too.

I limit her to one a day, then she has to have other fruit.

She is a total fruit freak though and has at least 4 portions a day and just stands by the fruit bowl begging for it all day!

Omg im so sorry to laugh but i saw Karl Pilkington (an idiot abroad) saying about this but thought he was joking Glad i saw this post as Tayla loves her bananas!

I too have to limit Jaiden and his banana intake to 1 a day as if they have too many it can cause constipation

Funny how kids love bananas i think its coz they are all little monkeys
