I'm after some more advice. Sorry to be such an information sucker!!
I'm wondering about food for T. I know babies this age need a lot of iron. Do you girls feed your bubs a lot of meat? Or do you think iron-fortified baby cereal is sufficient?
Information suck away haha i'm not an expert but more than happy to share my opinions to help when i can
My babies both liked their veggies best S wont touch fruit! She likes chicken i haven't tried her on other meats. sweet potatoes, spinach, broccoli are all good sources of iron as is meat and poultry. Vitamin C helps with iron absorption apples, bananas, tomatos, berries all are high in vitamin c
Thanks Jessey! Also, do you puree everything? And do you give S whatever you're eating? I get the feeling I should avoid giving T a lot of the stuff we eat like spag bol, apricot chicken etc because of the salt content.
I give B a lot of meat...he eats fish, chicken, turkey and beef. I haven't given him pork yet because it's so nhigh in fat. When I give him beef it's either a really big hunk that he then slimes to death, or I cut it up really really small or it';s mince. I don't usually cook with much salt..I prefer to use garlic, onion and herbs and spices so we basically feed B everything and anything we eat. I personally avoid giving him anything I know has much salt in it. But like Jessey said there are a lot of veggies high in iron...basically any of the green ones really.

S is starting to refuse pureed food so doing her chunks/fingers. If we're having something like spag bol or anything i don't really think she's ready for i just take some meat out before i add all the other bits and pieces if that's the "normal" thing to do but that's what we did with L and are now doing with S
