Vitamin D Drops That Actually Taste Good to Toddlers
The whole fight started because most drops taste like licking a metal railing. These are the ones my daughter opens her mouth for voluntarily, which I genuinely didn't think was possible six months ago.
Try putting one drop in her morning milk. Completely tasteless, no smell. My daughter went from spitting everything out to not even noticing it's there. Wish someone had told me about this brand sooner.

Grab this if your kid rejects anything with a weird aftertaste. The coconut oil base makes it smooth instead of chalky. My neighbor's son who fights every medicine takes this no problem.
Zarbee's, Baby Vitamin D Drops, 0.47 Fl. Ounces
Snag this for babies who gag on thicker liquids. It's olive oil based, super thin, and one tiny drop does the job. Went from a 10 minute ordeal to literally two seconds flat.

Chewable Vitamin D for Toddlers Who Refuse Liquids
Around 18 months my daughter decided she was done with droppers entirely. She wanted to do everything herself. These chewables let her feel like a big kid while still getting what she needs.
