Spinoff: vitamins question

DD's doctor said to start her on the poly vitamins at 6 months. We filled the prescription and the instructions that came with them said not to give them 2 hours before or after dairy (so formula would count, right?). I tried giving them to her alone but she threw up everything in her stomach. What do you do? When/how do you give them? Did it take a while for your LO to get used to them?

I never paid attention to that (Still don't )

He had no reaction at all and was used to them right away!

ETA: I always gave them in the morning right after he ate breakfast. That's when I remember! I just take the dropper and put it in his mouth. He takes it with no problems!

hmmm maybe it is DD"s extremely sensitive stomach striking again!

Re: Spinoff: vitamins question

honestly, I used to give them with breakfast....never waited the 2 hours....too hard since kids usually eat every 3 hours....now I give them whenever I remember

Re: Spinoff: vitamins question

I never actually noticed that but Taylor never had a problem with that

Re: Spinoff: vitamins question

Dairy prevents the body from absorbing iron so that's why it says that. I don't have any suggestions though, sorry!
