How Many Bananas is Too Many for a Toddler? Understanding the Limits and Consequences

Question

My 22-month-old baby has become a picky eater, except when it comes to bananas. She can eat multiple bananas in one sitting and asks for more. As a concerned parent, I wonder if there is a limit to how many bananas she should consume daily. Can eating an excessive amount of bananas have any negative consequences on her health?

Answer 1

My twins are almost 17 months old and for the longest time they shared a banana because they have constipation problems (due to them being premature). But now they eat a whole banana, and they will eat up to 3 a day a piece. And they go to the bathroom just fine, plus banana's are good for their development and growth.
