Iron drops can cause gastric irritation, mostly if given in empty stomach. So it must be given along with or after the feed. Spitting is also normal in this age group. So don't worry. You can try different brands of Iron drops. Ensure adequate burping following feed.
Next Steps
If symptoms don't improve then mediations like Domperidone can be given after consultation with the Pediatrician along with thorough physical examination.
