Banana Yogurt Toast Soldiers for Babies (8 months+)

Preparation

1. 1

   Use soft whole-wheat bread and trim any hard seeded edges; do not crisp the bread into hard toast.

2. 2

   Mash the peeled very ripe banana until smooth and stir it thoroughly through plain pasteurised yoghurt.

3. 3

   Add a little safe water only if needed so the mixture spreads in a thin moist layer rather than thick sticky dollops.

4. 4

   Spread thinly onto soft bread and cut into long easy-to-grasp strips; pinch-test that the bread tears easily and does not ball into a gummy lump.

5. 5

   Serve immediately within the recorded 8m+ age gate, upright and supervised; offer extra banana-yoghurt mix on a spoon if appropriate.
