my son will spit ANYTHING out that is not mixed with some kind of food. I generally mix all of his vitamins/iron/sodium w/his food and enzymes with baby fruit of some sort. Sometimes he won't eat the entire feeding I have prepared, so I started mixing the vitamins with the first 1 oz of food that I feed him to make sure he is getting all vitamins. As long as your child is getting the vitamins, however you make it happen, do- that vitamin crap is NASTY! (LOL yes, I've tried it!)
