He mostly nurses, so I'm really grateful that I'm still breastfeeding, but he's even less interested in my solid offerings lately! Does your LO's eating change when they are sick and what do they like to eat instead? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iron-rich-foods#post-416088 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 22:17:48 +0000 mrs. bird 416088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>cooking in cast iron is an easy way to increase iron intake. i've heard cooking acidic things like tomato sauces in cast iron are even better for getting iron in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iron-rich-foods#post-416050 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 21:55:59 +0000 pastemoo 416050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good to know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frozen-toddler-finger-foods#post-204142 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 08:19:41 +0000 Mrs. Bee 204142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>charlie eats frozen french toast a couple times a week! just pop in the microwave for 30 seconds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frozen-toddler-finger-foods#post-204100 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 07:47:18 +0000 chopsuey 204100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You know, my LO went through a period of loving frozen foods too!<br /> Hurmm.. frozen pieces of bread? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frozen-toddler-finger-foods#post-204080 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 07:31:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 204080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So this past weekend I got some fresh blueberries for my LO to try. I knew she wouldn't eat all of them so I froze some (cut up). Turns out she loves the frozen ones, not the fresh ones. Tried the same thing with cut up carrots (cut into cubes and boiled till soft). She didn't like the carrots when they were fresh in the fridge but she ate a ton of frozen pieces. </p> <p>Other suggestions for foods that I can feed frozen? I would like things that can defrost quickly in case she did have trouble with a piece. </p> <p>A few thoughts I had:<br /> - frozen peas<br /> - frozen yogurt drops<br /> - other small frozen fruit pieces </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iron-rich-foods#post-80298 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 12:09:15 +0000 heffalump 80298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could you mix something that your LO loves in with the oatmeal? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iron-rich-foods#post-80296 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 12:07:00 +0000 MH.Abroad 80296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Egg Yolks<br /> Beans, Lentils, Chick Peas, Soybeans<br /> Artichokes<br /> Dried Fruit - Prunes, Raisins<br /> Spinach, Collards<br /> Sweet Potatoes<br /> Pumpkin<br /> Watermelon<br /> Green Beans<br /> Tofu</p> <p>And if you eat iron-rich foods with something high in Vitamin C, the iron will be absorbed better by the body. So try combining the above foods with<br /> Citrus<br /> Papaya<br /> Kiwi<br /> Bell Peppers<br /> Guava<br /> Broccoli<br /> Tomatoes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iron-rich-foods#post-80282 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 11:44:07 +0000 Maysprout 80282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sweet potatoes too. I make also make little meatballs with turkey and egg yolk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iron-rich-foods#post-80274 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 11:38:20 +0000 Boogs 80274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, so many good tips, I definitely need to look into these options when I'm at the store later, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iron-rich-foods#post-80270 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 11:34:18 +0000 twinmama 80270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Corn flakes! I've been looking for good sources of iron during pregnancy and was amazed to see that regular kellogs corn flakes have 45% rdv of iron. A bowl everyday totally helps me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iron-rich-foods#post-80186 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 08:42:29 +0000 Andrea 80186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO loves kidney beans and spinach. She pops the beans in her mouth like candy. For spinach, they sell these "spinach bites" in the vegan/vegetarian section of our grocery store. They are spinach and cheese nuggets and the LO loves them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iron-rich-foods#post-80183 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 08:39:41 +0000 Lozza 80183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our nurse practitioner said lamb is great for babies- maybe try that?<br /> We've also had good luck getting LO to eat pureed beans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iron-rich-foods#post-80182 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 08:35:20 +0000 anbanan15 80182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is slightly anemic as well and has been on an iron supplement since 6 months. </p> <p>Spinach, kale, grass-fed lamb, prunes, lentils/beans</p> <p>For a grain amaranth is high in iron. I think you can get that as a cereal. Quinoa, which you can get as a cereal simiar to cream of rice, also has iron but it contains some iron inhibitors soothe body doesn't absorb all the dietary iron available. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iron-rich-foods#post-80176 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 08:10:30 +0000 chopsuey 80176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Egg yolk! Spinach? I boil eggs and give LO the yolk. She loves it.<br /> You could make cream of spinach or something. LO loves creamy everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/iron-rich-foods#post-80141 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 02:07:00 +0000 Boogs 80141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is slightly anemic. Our pediatrician recommended giving LO oatmeal, but it's not something he enjoys. So, I'm trying to find other iron-rich foods and snacks for my LO. Are there any that you know of or use? </p>
