Can a child eat too many Bananas?

[Marioandluigi]

DS2 has SN and has a diet which is limited to Bananas, Raisins and yoghurts.

He may eat three or four bananas in a day, and we havent had a problem, but today, someone at his SN group suggested that that may be too much, and he will be eating too much potassium?

I don't think three or four is too many.

It could cause constipation though

Ds went through a phase of eating lots of 'nanas and had bad nappies for a couple of days. that may have been a coincidence tho. cant say about the potassium however. sorry not much help really.

So if his diet consists of only banana, raisins and yougurt, what are you supposed to do? Starve him?

My six year old eats three a day and seems fine.

Lynette - I did think that

Thanks everyone, I will feel better now when he is chomping away.
