Baby multivitamins

hi ladies! Wondering if anyone can help with a multivitamin suggestion? Trying to get my 6 month old BF baby (also being weaned) to take a multivitamin. Recently tried him on wellbaby liquid multivitamin but omg he hates it! Smells really strong and don't think he will get used to it. Does anyone know of any brands that are easier on the palette that this one? Thanks so much!

Definitely recommend the Abidec one. It's a MUCH smaller dose, so easier to get them to take. I still think it smells gross, but my LO actually loves it

thank you livingoffcoffee. My LO never used to have any problem taking calpol, vit D or any other medicine. After the Wellbaby experience, he now hates anything that comes in a syringe. It says on the pack info to put it in their food, but I think that would totally put him off eating as well, which isn't good when you're trying to wean your baby! Gross stuff ha ha!

We ended up disguising it in petit filous. Not ideal, but the taste of those is pretty strong and we bought the low sugar apple/banana flavour as a sort of compromise

@CorvusCornix Mine had the same aversion for a while after a round of antibiotics! He got over after a week or so. I know what you mean about putting him off food though. The Abidec one is a smaller syringe, so might be okay with it? It's only a 0.3ml dose until 1yr, so it's so small it is easier to get in
