Make sure the banana is ripe before using it. The peel ought to be primarily golden in hue (with minimal green color on the peel). You should be able to easily smash it between your forefinger and thumb if the texture is soft enough.
At this age, banana spears are a fantastic alternative. If a baby is stuffing and shoveling food into their mouth, consider providing bite-sized chunks that have been broken off of spears of bananas, which will make the pieces less slippery and simpler to pick up.

Wash the peel well because it is nearly probable that the baby will eat it.
