This is going to sound really random, but cinnamon actually has a decent amount of iron. We put it on our daughter's french toast in the mornings. Also, make sure your toddler is getting a daily vitamin, our ped recommended the flinstone's kind...
Thanks for the suggestions! I also discovered that blackstrap molasses apparently has a lot of iron. I found an organic gingerbread mix that has 15% of the RDA for Iron. Wow!
We actually still feed our daughter baby oatmeal. It has 45% of her daily iron requirements. We mix it with some mashed fruit and milk and warm it for a complete meal.
beats are a great source of Iron and my kids love them.
I LOVED beets as a kid, still do. My mom thought I was nuts. Still does, probably...

Our daughter was also a little bit anemic so we started to buy a little bit of grass-fed ground beef each week and mix it in with macaroni. She gobbles it down without a second thought.
