You should always follow the pediatrician's instructions as he/she knows your baby best. The way you are giving the iron (despite the fact that it is distasteful) may not be correct: in order to avoid putting up a fight and have your daughter cough out or vomit the dose, you need to place the dropper on the inner cheek about midway into the throat. This should make it easier. You could also dip her pacifier in milk and offer it right after giving the dose to make swallowing the iron solution more acceptable to your baby.

there are plenty of iron products for children.Some are chocolate flavored. Ask the pediatrician to change the brand
