Do I need to give a multivitamin?

My DD is 8.5 months old and on 3 meals a day. Up until recently she was on 4 x 7oz a day but she was becoming very sicky which I think was down to her tummy being so full all the time. To help we have tried to drop her lunch time bottle so now she’s taking 3 x 7oz bottle and is perfectly happy and a lot less sick. The only issue is she sometimes isn’t interested in the 2nd bottle which means she’s below the recommended 500ml of formula a day. Other days she’s fine and drinks every last bit of every bottle which is perfect as she then has a good 21oz. Should I be giving her a multivitamin in her last bottle on the days where she doesn’t drink as much? It is literally 50/50 with her whether or not she will drink 500ml a day atm and I don’t want to stress or force milk down her if she’s just not that hungry or interested in it.

I have called the HV, but they’re not calling me back until tomorrow
