What vitamins for 1 year old?

My dd is almost 11months and has a wonderful varied diet of solid foods. She is now taking two bottles of formula (210mls, morning and pre-bed) so I've been advised by HV to start vitamins.
Does anyone know where the guidelines are on what they should contain eg yes or no to iron?
And what is the best brand?
Thanks!

It's advised to supplement vitamins A, C and D up to the age of 5.

Didn't your Hv mention the free surestart ones. It might just be my central London borough but I pick up a small bottle every 2 months. HV basically forced them on me at 12 months saying so few people know about them so they have loads...

oh at ours they don't give vouchers or anything. believe me i'm probably not entitled - they just take your name at the dr's reception and give them to you.
