BLW not working...

pretty much the same as pureed but just not pureed. so give her carrot sticks, you can par boil them, or fruit like bananas, pears... toast, crackers, pasta...   sometimes they just gum the food, but it is getting them used to texture etc.

Dont know sorry, its one of the only things jake will eat!

Smoked salmon is his new favourite... expensive taste!

RJ - you could grate some frozen liver onto her veges. You only need a small amount of it and it's packed with iron.

What about making little meatballs with cheese in the middle and cooked in a tomato sauce (tomato puree 'passata') with herbs and garlic. They go down very well here.

Also making an omelette topped with cooked veges and bits of sausage. Finished off in the oven.

What about fish? We buy a fillet (usually monkfish) every week, cut into appropriate portion sizes and freeze - pull out and usually poach with garlic & italian parsley wrapped in glad wrap.. or cooked and flaked in mash veges with an egg to make little patties.

Lentils are really good too - cook in stock, add whatever to it (vege wise)

Canned beans (Cannellini and Borlotti beans are great) We often cook a huge chunky vege soup and add rice and beans to it.

Does she like pasta? Cooking pasta with a tomato sauce can disguise mince quite well, add whatever veges (zucchini, capsicums, garlic, onion)

What about polenta? Our girl loves polenta, cooking then cooled on a chopping board and cut into wedges. (not that this is an iron food but maybe something different she could try if you haven't already)

Yoghurt with ground seeds (pumpkin, linseeds etc) sprinkled into it.

Perhaps just getting her onto trying different foods could help, then you can start adding meat into it.

HTH

She sounds like a clever cookie

You could cook off some meat in a stew then just add some of the juice to her veges.

I don't actually give DD alot of meat - purely because it is hard to digest (I find it hard so I can only imagine how hard it is for little ones). Good idea to get her levels checked even for piece of mind. I would definetly push liver though - just freeze a piece then grate over her food (the heat will cook it) she only needs a little as it's packed with iron. We give our DD homemade Pate, which she is slowly coming around to. Or even add some grated to her pasta sauce - she hopefully (fingers crossed) shouldn't notice it!

I'm not 100% sure that fish and ham is 'enough' but then I suspect that it is different with every child. Talk to your PN about it or your GP - they may have some ideas for you
