Remarks on Banana-cado:

Bananas is rich in potassium, which helps to maintain healthy blood pressure. Bananas also contain lots of fiber, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C and Vitamin B2.

Bananas can also help to protect against stomach ulcers and ulcer damage. They are also extremely easy to digest and suitable for babies. 

Avacado contains lots of good unsaturated fats for the development of your baby's brain and physical development. Thus, it is a great first food for your baby.

Avacados are also high in potassium, carotenoid lutein, beta-carotene and fiber.

Both fruits are very high in potassium and hence together, they make a powerful and nutritious baby food. Potassium is crucial for your baby's health and development. 

Potassium is good for maintaining healthy blood pressure, helps with muscle function and heart rhythm and, in later years, may reduce the risk of kidney stones and osteoporosis.
