I don&#39;t find bananas to be very mucus-forming in my own body. But surely, they are neither a native food to New England climate! So i eat them with awareness. And they did figure into early baby food for my two sons.<br /><br />When introducing solids to my youngsters I let them show interest first...somewhere around 6 months old. Jordan&#39;s first food was pear - he grabbed my wrist as i was eating a pear with him on my lap and pulled it to his mouth! Once the ball was rolling in that direction, I tried to follow what seemed to me the evolutionary progress of human diet for the order of new food intro. Hence started with fruits, then digestible veggies (cooked carrot, sweet potato, etc.) and after that, i think the whole grains...then other veggies and the seeds/nuts/legumes. Of course still breastfeeding all the while. I remember I had this Happy Baby turning hand grinder and I&#39;d just put whatever we were eating in that, but unspiced. Very easy method! And bonus - both my boys LOVE all kinds of food and were never fussy eaters nor were they sick often.<br /><br />But who knows, maybe bananas were a bad idea?!eat2evolvehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13526514106453275328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3860446567069082235.post-6319094953740117512010-10-29T09:01:15.870-04:002010-10-29T09:01:15.870-04:00I love that Verena! My children put out the candy they collect on Halloween night for the Great Pumpkin who takes the candy and leaves a non-food treat. Last year porceline tea sets; This year fuzzy boots. http://www.healthyalterego.com/index.php/2010/10/the-great-candy-heist/Phyllishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02462504439284977964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3860446567069082235.post-26555735807669592472010-08-12T04:58:25.323-04:002010-08-12T04:58:25.323-04:00I live from the equator, the longer the exposure you need to the sun in order to generate vitamin D. Canada, the UK and most US states are far from the equator. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.lapband-blog.com/" rel="nofollow">lap band</a>Mohammadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00632960863999155763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3860446567069082235.post-78782253717197288132010-05-14T07:47:07.792-04:002010-05-14T07:47:07.792-04:00Thank you Verena for this incredibly generous wealth of information!
