Banana Poppers for the Finicky Baby

My 10 month old little boy, Micah is just barely cutting his first tooth, yet he seems to think he is too big for baby food. We have tried every which way to get him to eat baby food and he flat out refuses. I have been pretty creative when it comes to giving him regular food - baby style.

Here is a quick and easy recipe for any baby:

Banana Poppers



Take 1/3 cup of cereal (I use Annie's Organic Cinna Bunnies Cereal)
Place it in a ziploc baggie
Using a large wooden spoon, crush the cereal into fine crumbs
Slice a banana into small chunks, and place inside baggie
Seal baggie and shake until banana chunks are covered in crumbs


Serve and watch your baby scarf these suckers down! Micah normally feeds his food to our dogs, but the dogs go hungry when I serve him this for breakfast!

Micah Likes It!



You can also use softened peaches, cooked apple, softened pears, whatever you wish! I have also done this with soft frozen yogurt. Most cereals are packed with vitamins and whole grains so you can feel good about serving this to your baby!

I admit, I sneak a few off his plate - they really are tasty!

Thanks for the idea. My 4 1/2 month old is cutting teeth and loves to eat now, but it could always change...

Such a cutie.

Can you email me so I can get you Amy's address? Your comments don't allow email responses and I can't find it on your profile.

Thank you!

See, I may have to make these for my baby (she's almost 12 years old), but I am thinking they look yummy. Thanks for stopping by my blog from SITS. New to SITS but loving it already. Adding you to my reader, I think I could learn a lot from you!

Those look really yummy and Micah is so cute. Btw, not sure what's wrong with your page but I can see HTML coding right above the topmost section of your blog page. You may want to check your coding. Some of it may be "broken".

These look YUM! Miles will usually only eat one bite of banana before bailing. Maybe this would help! Cute kiddo, by the way!
