Here's an awesome Parenthack: mash a banana in the peel, rip off one end and squirt it into your kid's gob like icing -- a no-spoon meal!Throw a whole banana into your diaper bag before heading out the door. When it's time to eat, mash up the banana before peeling it - just squishing it a bit with your fingers does the trick. Then, peel open a small hole at the end (not the end with the longer stem). Squeeze the mashed banana into the baby's mouth like you're icing a cake. Voila - no spoon necessary, and almost no mess.How to turn a whole banana into a no-mess baby meal (no spoon required)
Any readers brave enough to try it?

Ewwwww! Count me out.
I can't figure out how you mash it in the peel. Doesn't the peel split open? My brain is befuddled.
I think the idea is that you squeeze it in your hand, gently.
But I, too, think this sounds iffy. For one thing, it can't possibly get the banana pulp squished enough for a little baby. And if your baby is old enough to eat it mostly whole, then why don't you just pull off a piece and squish it in your hand?
A couple of wet wipes plus using your hands would solve the same problem.
