My 10 month old wants to feed herself, and refuses a spoon (even with it in her hand) at some meals. I usually count on the spoon to feed her iron rich foods like baby cereal, ground meat, lentil soup and the like.
Looking for suggestions on iron rich finger foods?

What is the best food to start feeding my 6 month old?

Lentils. They have never been my choice of food- until I made this puree (or add extra stock to make a thick soup). It is absolutely delicious and the entire family loves it. I love that the lentils are a good cheap source of protein and that they also provide iron (critical for brain development).
