cream of wheat and ovaltine both have good sources of iron. As well if your child is older then 12 months you could get an iron fortified toddler supplement and use that instead of milk. My family has a history of iron anemia so I keep my son on that instead of moving to milk.

can you mix the drops in her food? maybe she wont taste it so much. my little cousin had to take the iron years ago it smelled horrid and he wouldnt take it. so my aunt mixed it in food and gave it to him. depending how old she is, there are juices, cereals, foods, formula all with the added iron. giving those things along with a multivitamin you may be able to stop the drops so long as the dr. says its ok, and she is getting the iron suppliments from her food and formulas etc.

eat meat,cottage cheese or get the iron water i took when i was pregnant its ok for all ages you mix one pack with oj once a day. its about a dollar a day. and the water is all natural and dont hurt your tummy or make you constipated.

My son also has to take iron along with many other medications everyday I have found that if you mix the iron with 50% apple juice and 50% water it is not to bad. It does taste really funky kinda like you are sucking on a penny!

Try putting smaller drops in her juice/milk/food over the course of an hour or two (to equal full dose). I had to do this as well with the drops I had. It worked, and she didn`t seem to notice.

How old is she? Any green veg is high in iron, or red meat. Other than that...I`m sure there are kiddie vitamins that you could get her instead of iron medicine...it does taste ghastly!

I have thought about mixing it in her drink but its so awful tasting I think she probably wouldn`t drink it.
