Pat,
  I don't know about bananas passing through breast milk, but we  
discovered a few years ago that my son is allergic to bananas (and  
hazelnuts, coconuts, pecans and filberts). We tease him that he would  
never make it in the tropics. He does not have severe allergic  
reactions to these foods, just sneezing, watery eyes. I think bananas  
is a pretty unusual allergy, but clearly possible. I haven't tried  
cooking the bananas, I used to  make banana cake a lot, so now maybe  
I'll try it again.
