vitamins help

mnberry18

aaron absolutely hates taking his vitamins (enfamil poly-vi-sol). we've tried mixing it with milk, which he refuses to take the whole thing, and just putting it in his mouth, which he swallows and then a few minutes later spits it all up and whatever he ate. any suggestions from anyone who's successfully given their LO the vitamins? i'd realllly appreciate it!

we mix it with about 15-20ml of milk and make sure he is good and hungry...we offer that and follow it with good milk,  it seems to work for us...GL

I just put her vitamins in her first morning bottle. I know that she's hungry and she usually eats the whole thing. When she was really little, we would put the vitamin in 10-15 mL of formula that she would then throw up. I think the vitamins where too much on her tummy. So then we just started putting them in a full bottle and haven't had a problem since. HTH.

We also put them in a full bottle and I know other moms on this board have had to actually split them into 2 bottles to dilute the taste.

We put the vits and iron in about 15 ml's of ebm to diulte it just enough.  We then gave him the rest of his milk in another bottle.

Maybe I am a mean mommy? I just gave it to him in a dropper (we stopped the iron a few months ago but just started Poly Vi Sol today). He doesn't like it, but, honestly, it just became a part of our routine and he got used to it. I find if I do it after he's woken up some, it works better (I think the taste is more shocking if he's tired). He made a face at me this morning but he still took it...
