Toddler vitamins - which ones?

DD is just 1 and we are phasing out formula. She only really had a bottle first thing and half a bottle last thing now anyway. We’ll be moving onto cow’s milk not follow-in. I’d be grateful for first hand toddler vitamin recommendations please.

Any that they'll take without pinning them down worked for me...

The only thing they really need is vitamin d I think, we used the boots own liquid one.

We got the healthy start ones for free, not sure if they do that in all areas, once we had all the free bottles we just bought from super drug as they have exactly the same one there and i think it was 3 for 2 on them.
I think healthy start drops are recommended from 1 month until 5 years for breast feed babies.

For formula fed i think it's when they stop formula until 5 years.
And we also found out vitamin d is recommended by the NHS for all adult during the winter, so we both started those too.

I use abtec for DD (now 22 months but used since 1yr) which I get from Amazon. I pop it in her evening milk.

Tesco have 3 for 2 on at the minute. We use wellkid multivitamin liquid. I put the insert from a calpol bottle in it and use the syringe to give it to DS. Tried the abided thinking they were a bit cheaper. They aren't as you need to give 10mls daily so a bottle only lasts 2 weeks. Wellkid lasts 4 weeks.

Thank you! Really helpful information, including about putting it in milk.

We use abidec. It's only 0.6ml (half that under a year) so easy to get down them with a syringe. It's always on 3 for 2 in Asda and Tesco.

We use WellBaby multivitamins and put it in her bedtime milk

Wellbaby here as it’s the only one with iron in it & my daughter is fussy. I think it’s smells disgusting but my DD (who is 3) loves the stuff. Happily spoons it down herself! Confused
