I'm serious! When you go to maternity classes there should be a leaflet on Bananas. Who knew that they were so unpredictable. Nevermind whether they cause constipation or diarrhoea. No one tells you that if your child eats fresh banana when you come to change them after a number two you are likely to see little black worms in the hundreds! Actually, they are not worms at all, they are the fibres of undigested, not quite ripe banana, but if you are not prepared for this it can be quite scary! Just google black worms and bananas and you will find I am not the only new mum to experience this phenomena.
So that is not the only thing I have against bananas (which by the way is my DD's favourite food right now). They get mushed into everything and if you leave a trace of them in a fabric (bib/highchair etc) then you get a black stain and no matter how many times you wash a black banana stain it seems not to disappear. The trick I know is to wash things immediately, but if my child has a poo explosion or I get distracted by a giggling session then I have to suffer the black banana stains and it is enough to drive you, well, bananas!
So do I have 'at home' and 'going out' bibs - so I don't have to worry about horrible stains and be a lazy mum? or do I diligently pre-soak in napisan and clean them 10 times?
If you are a new mum too and your DS/DD has yet to try banana, consider yourself warned!
