FFFC: I buy jarred banana purée. I hate bananas. They gross me out (except in banana bread), so I want to avoid contact with them as much as possible. I haven't had LO try them yet. He's been a bit constipated since starting solids, and I'm assuming banana and applesauce would make it worse.

I've been wondering about peanut butter and seafood and berries...You can't introduce regular milk until a year, but you can start doing watered down juice with solids right?

You can. But may I ask why you'd want to? Juice, even 100% fruit juice, is really just sugar. I think AAP recommends holding off on juice until at least a year (not for allergy worries as with honey...purely because it's just really not all that great for you).
Bananas... We're BLWers, too, and he's been doing great with them just in their regular form. The ones I've given him are pretty ripe so they mush easily, as opposed to breaking off in chunks.
Juice is toddler crack. It's responsible for at least 50% of the tantrums in this house. I aim to go as long as possible without LO being aware it even exists.
My DD didn't get to try juice until she was well over a year. Even then it was watered down until recently and she is 2. I still water it down if I am the one giving it to her. Luckily my daycare provider will not allow any juice so I just have to worry about DH and other family offering it to her.
I would like to keep LO off it for as long as possible past the year mark but it'll be hard when she sees her sister get it.
I've blended banana just enough so the lumps are out but before it goes to watery, lo loves it, I am going to try it in chunks for him to hold next time
Re: Introducing banana!
I need sleep. (:|
