I have started making my own baby puree food for my 5 month old daughter. The banana I made turns like a brown black colour but i Still fed it to her and she loved it. Is this ok or just the colour?

it's fine.
the color is just the banana being exposed to oxygen.
be sure that you feed it to her right after you puree it though.

As long as the banana has been pureed fresh and you give it to her within a day or so, it should be fine. Always refrigerate after pureeing. Bananas are not suitable for freezing.
Personally, I don't give my baby brown/black bananas, I give it to her fresh after I peel it. I just mash it with a fork. How do you feel about eating brown/black bananas?
Add a drop of lemon juice to your banana puree to keep the color intact so it doesn't look unappealing.

As long as the banana started out being ripe and then turned brown when you pureed it, it should be alright. Once the air hits the bananas, in the fridge, they will eventually turn brown after a day or so anyway. Obviously don't start out with brown bananas, but other than that it sounds fine.

Bananas will turn brown when refridgerated or stored in the freezer...and especially if pureed! As long as it's not old, it is totally fine.

I don't suggest giving your baby something that has discoloured!! Try cutting off a piece that you are going to use in a sitting and covering the end of the rest with plastic wrap...

Ditto what they all said. Don't store the mashed or pureed fruit for too long though. Keep up the good work.

You should try it yourself to see if it's "ok". If it seems safe to you, just keep giving it to her.
