How to offer

Place 2–3 small pancakes on the high chair tray. Cut into strips or quarters for easier gripping. Supervise closely as these are soft and easy to overstuff.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Nutrition note

Bananas are rich in minerals like folate, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium that babies require to flourish in addition to carbohydrates to fuel the body. Together, these nutrients help to maintain blood pressure, skin health, the neurological system, and iron absorption.
