vitamins

I bought the poly-vi-sol vitamins for my 15 month old daughter. They taste
and smell horrible and she took the dropper the first day and spit most of
it out the second and will not let me near her face with it anymore. Is
there a better tasting vitamin mix for her? I couldn't find anything else at
the store.
I normally wouldn't bother with vitamins but she isn't much of an eater and
breastmilk still seems to be her major nutrition source! (she's getting
better though lately)

I break a regular children's multi vitamin up into 4 or 5 tiny pieces and DD
(16 months) usually eats most of them which I figure is ok since she is
under 2 and I assume would require a smaller dose anyway.

I'd rather be a mother, than anyone on earth.
Bringing up a child or two, of unpretentious birth.
I'd rather nurse a rosy babe, with warm lips on my breast,
Than wear a queen's medallion, above a heart less blest.
I'd rather tuck a little child, all safe and sound in bed.
Than twine a chain of diamonds, about my foolish head.
I'd rather wash a smudgy face, with round, bright baby eyes.
Than paint the pageantry of fame, or walk among the wise.

Put the stuff in Orange Juice, or Carrot Juice - whatever the child likes;
she'll slurp it right down. That's what I did with mine!

The tri-vi-sol seems to taste ok to mine. I think, though, its because
there's no iron. That probably makes it taste pretty bad. If you're trying
to get iron in her, then this obviously wouldn't work. Tri-vi-sol only
supplies vit A, C, and D.

I just take prenatal vitamins and my daughter gets what she needs from the
milk...

Good luck!
