Spinach is very high in oxalic acid and can irritate the stomach. It is better

to put it aside

until later. Was the banana nice and ripe/ How much banana did you give?

Carol,

The banana was very ripe, with black spots on the skin. I gave about

2 inches of it on the first day, and she was gassy. I gave another 2

inches on the second day and she was still gassy. On top of that, she

also became less responsive.

Appearance of gas or increased gasiness would seem to indicate that

it is not tolerated yet - as long as there are no other new items

(new foods, supplements, meds, possibility of illegals,

environmental concerns etc.)

Wait at least a few days before trying pureed. If pureeing after a

bad reaction only use a small amount with well tolerated foods at

the meal or snack. If it was a bad reaction wait much longer and if

tried again definitely puree and start with small amounts.

It depends on your child and the severity of the reaction but

usually a few days is fine unless it was a severe reaction with

major setbacks. You shouldn't have to wait until all the gasiness

is gone - but if the gasiness is worse than the new food may be

trouble also.

Some kids especially those with yeast problems have trouble with

bananas even if ripe - homemade applesauce or pearsauce may be

better the banana for her. Keep us updated.
