Stupid question about multivitamin

[MeadowLanes]

I give my toddler a daily multivitamin. The bottle says to mix it in water or milk.

Is there a reason why I can't just give it on the spoon?! I just can't figure out why not!

Doesn't it say you can give it in water or milk rather than you should? Some children don't like the taste that's all.

Many children would be averse to having it on a spoon I think. If you child will take it, crack on!
