She hates the taste if we try to give them to her either in the syringe or the spoon and then she'll go off her Calpol thinking we're tricking her (which we certainly don't want as she's teething!) I don't blame her though, they taste foul! Can I still give her the drops you put in milk or are they really only for the under 1s? She's nearly two. Thanks!

Hello! Have you tried the Healthy Start ones? I get them from the local Children's Centre. They're really cheap and banana flavoured - they're the only ones my little one will have!

I mix DS's into a little glass of squash. I know squash isn't great but I'd rather he had the vitamin d

Thanks, both. Yes she was on the Healthy Start ones but when they ran out and I went to get some more (from local pharmacy) I was talked out of it. She told me at DD's age she's much better off with the gloopy stuff rather than the drops. I think I'm just going to have to go back in and insist. It's the drops or nothing with DD. And I'm a bit concerned because while she's a healthy little thing DP and I aren't meat eaters so I want to make sure she gets all her vits!
