Any suggestions. Her iron is a touch low as she is a bit of a picky eater. She hates most green veg, though I puree some up into pasta sauce occasionally. I know lentils are good but any other ideas or should I just try and give a supplement?

Fortified breakfast cereal and apricots (dried or tinned)

dried apricots.ds either sucks them and chews a bit or i cut them up and puree them with natural yoghurt.
my ds also loves spinach! he just sits and eats it from a bowl or i put it in lots of dishes.
also-beans,lentils,tofu,pumkin seeds,millet,figs and dates.
