2-year-old child vitamins?

The general pediatric view for 2-year-olds is that a healthy, well-nourished child usually doesn't need additional vitamin supplements. However, the Turkish Ministry of Health recommends that all babies receive 400 IU of vitamin D daily from birth until age 1, and 600 IU of vitamin D daily after age 1. For this reason, vitamin D supplementation at age 2 is the most common and universally accepted need.
Iron supplementation is not routinely recommended to all children; your pediatrician decides based on your child's blood values and nutritional status. "Appetite stimulants" or "multivitamin" syrups are generally unnecessary and can be harmful if used thoughtlessly.
In summary: The safest and most common recommendation for age 2 is to continue vitamin D supplementation only at the dose your pediatrician suggests. If you're thinking about another vitamin, always consult your child's doctor first.
