It's so hard to squeeze in the nutrients. It's best to be sneaky about it I think. I put frozen chopped spinach (thawed of course) in with mac-n-cheese, or broccoli bits in the spaghetti sauce. My daughter's new surprising favorite is spinach salad! I buy a bag of the stuff cut it  into bite sized pieces, mix in some chopped strawberries and a dollop of raspberry vinigrete, she goes to town on this. Beans and cheese are sometimes a favorite. If you put cheese on it, she'll eat it (much like her mother). Good luck!

Awesome idea with the spinach salad and strawberries Suzanne! I am giving that one a try for sure!

I would cut up the lettuce pretty small. My daughter is 17 months and still has only 8 teeth and she does fine with it. I use it more like finger food. I just plop a little pile in front of her and give her more as she works her way through it. Start out small and see how she does.
