Bananas and Constipation

Louise_N · Feb 28, 2008 11:52AM

I was going to give my lo a banana tomorrow mashed up for her lunch but I keep hearing that it can leave babies with Constipation. Has anyone experienced this?

Kara has a stomach bug this week and has the Dirrohea and is just getting over this and I wouldn't want this to affect her again by leaving her constipated.

Any advice?

Hi nashy, yes I think this is true to an extent as they are quite 'binding'. Although, I think you would only need to worry if your lo has a problem with constipation in the first place. Bananas are generally quite good for settling upset stomachs and some recommend them if baby has diarrhea. Hope Kara gets well soon. x

Hi
I've read that Banana's are good in both cases, for diarrhea(sp?) and constipation. (annabel karmel i think?).

Ruby had Banana with baby rice the other day and loved it

But the next day her poo had little black bit from the banana in it! lol

Thats great thanks. Although her Dirrohea is nearly away it might help. Kara has never had a problem with Constipation so I try them.

Louise,

Bananas gave Amy really severe constipation when she was small but she is ok now that shes older. I wouldnt say to you not to try them though coz all babies are different but just keep an eye out that her wee bowels are moving as they usually do after her having them.
