Vitamin drops

My little one all of a sudden is refusing her drops - even in milk, which she would usually just drink. What vitamins is everyone using for their 2 year olds. We were using the Abidec ones for ages but when she refused them, I tried the Wellbaby ones & these were a disaster also. Help 🫠 thanks in advance!
