Any advice how to give my baby vitamin drops when she hates the taste!?

[MrsTMT]

Hi,

My DD1 is just over 6mths old and I have recently started giving her vitamin drops as recommended by the HV (as she is breastfed).

Well, she hates the taste of it (orange) and refuses to take it! If I try and persist, the liquid ends up all over her but not in her mouth! I even started using a plastic syringe to squeeze it quickly in her mouth but that only worked twice.

If you have any suggestions how to get her to take it I would be
most grateful!! Or if anyone knows another flavour than orange (I've looked but haven't come across anything else) please let me know.

Many thanks in advance!

I've never given my dd vitamin drops, and won't be starting now. She has a good varied diet and gets exposed to sunlight in summer.

Nature & Nurture Baby Vitamins meet all the NHS recommendations for infant supplementation and are totally free from nasties. They also use D3, which is much easier to absorb than D2. It's a nice tasting liquid and you only give a small daily dose so really easy to use. Suitable for babies and children from six months to five years old. It's also vegan and lasts twice as long as some other leading brands!
