Doing BLW. He won't touch meat - too tough. Need iron sources. What worked for you?

Lentil dahl, blended a bit. Goes down well and packed with iron.
Iron-fortified cereal - boring but it works.
Vitamin C alongside iron foods helps absorption - orange slice, tomato, bell pepper.
Liver pâté on toast - sounds horrid but tons of iron and most babies eat it.
Beef bone broth used to cook rice/quinoa - sneaky iron.
