Vitamins?

When we took DD to her 1st year appt, they tested her blood and it's a little on the low-end of normal for iron levels.  So the pedi suggested she take a multivitamin/supplement.  What is a good one for this age?  TriViSol?  Do I mix it with anything?  I never worried about this before since she was getting everything from formula.  Thanks for any help!

    TriViSol should work.  Unfortunately, there aren't many options for babies our kids' age. 

    Our pedi put E on a straight iron supplement (FerInSol) and I can't get her take it.  I've tried giving it to her straight, mixing in juice (which I hate to do because we don't give juice), mixing it in food, etc. and she immediately rejects it.  I'm not sure what to do, but I hope you have better luck!

    I've only seen PolyViSol where I shop and I've seen it both with and without iron so be on the lookout for that. The first time I got it, I got the iron one and it was NASTY. Smelled nasty, tasted nasty, resulted in nasty spit-up (back when she was still spitting...) but DD still took it just fine when I mixed it into her food. Most often I put it in her oatmeal in the morning, sometimes with added applesauce and/or cinnamon. Like PP said, though, there aren't many options of any kind of vitamin for kids this young.
