Syrup or drops

My sister just turned a year old. We?re contemplating on giving her vitamins in syrup. Can we stop on using vitamins on drops? The direction on the box of "drops" indicates that it is for 0-1 year old. So I presume we can change to syrup now. Am I correct?

From what I know, medicines in syrup are being given to those 2 years old and above. Just like what you said, medicines in drops are given to infant ages 0-1 year old. You can start giving syrup if she turned 2 years old. If you are hesitant about this, you can ask your pediatrician or even the pharmacist from drugstore.

As above thats what I would of said but remember you can give you sister vitamins through her meals as well.
