I mean, my little boy loves them and would eat one every day if he could.

1 banana a day is fine 2 maybe as bananas contain a sugar but it is good for children to eat lots of fruit i would say more than 2 a day is too much, my daughter who is now 16 mnths has 1 a day she used to have 2 but she cut down and experiences different fruits/veg instead.

I love bananas too and one a day wont harm him at all. They are full of nutrients like potassium which helps calm you down as well as being good for the heart, they help the body absorb calcium which is good for bone growth. The are also good for the digestive tract and prevent against constipation. They are low in sodium full of vitamins B6 and C. Doctors are always telling us to eat more fruit so its great that your little boy enjoys them so much. A study was done on babies who suffered regularly with an upset tummy and bananas were found to really help them with the problem. Let him enjoy them and dont worry x

I dont see what harm one banana a day would do, my kids both eat one a day, and they are fine...it's better than eating a chocolate bar a day!!
If you are worried, then just chose different fruit occasionally!

No harm can come unless he eats like 10 a day then he could have a high potassium intake. But thats it.

If you're worried, try giving him half a banana and some other fruits and veg, but nothing too acidic, like oranges etc.
He should be fine as long as it's in moderation and like others have said, it's better than chocolate! :)

One a day should be fine, but remember that bananas can make them constipated.

My 11 month old spn is the same, I give him one nearly every day. He either has it as a snack, after lunc or mixed into his porridge.

One every day is fine, but more could make his tummy hurt and give him problems going to the loo.
