Any recommendations? We’ve tried Spatone but DD found it too disgusting even in juice.

Thank you

I give my son iron supplements on the advice of a doctor. Tend to buy a multi vitamin with iron - ideally 100% of RDA. Quite hard to find! The ones we have at the moment are vitabiotics teen - they do a for him and for her version.

There's a liquid one called Sytron that's suitable for children, may require a prescription though, not sure.
