1. I'd like to get her eating more meat, as I worry about her iron levels. So I'm planning on cooking chops and giving her the bones to suck, as well as strips of steak or whatever. Any other suggestions for this? Do rissoles or similar work?
These are great ideas, my DD especially loved chop bones as a baby. Whatever meat you had for dinner, save a bit and reheat it the next day if you like.
2. I'd like to give her different cereals. Pasta for sure. What about rice? Is it safe to give her granulated things like rice? What about weetbix for breakfast?
Rice is great and if it's a bit sticky it's easy for them to pick up. I gave my DD weetbix and EBM from about 8 mths, when she could handle a spoon a bit better. But you don't need to give 'breakfast' foods at breakfast, there's nothing wrong with vegies either!
3. I'd like to give her yoghurt or cheese. Are these safe? Does it need to be particular kinds of cheese.
I gave both to DD, especially yoghurt. But not too much or she wouldn't eat much else!
4. I'd like to add another meal: breakfast would make sense. She's currently having "lunch" with us most days. Dinner is hard because she goes to bed to early.
Toast was DD's breakfast fave, with avocado spread on it. But as I said above, it doesn't need to be a 'breakfast' food.
