My kid thinks magnesium gummies are candy – send help!
So my 5yo found my stash of magnesium gummies and now begs for them like they're candy. I can't keep him out of the pantry. Anyone else dealing with a sneaky kid? Also, my wife accidentally ate 4 before realizing they weren't regular gummies... she had epic stomach cramps. 😅
Oh man, that's a classic! My twins went through a phase where they'd scream if I didn't give them 'the sleepy candy' (melatonin gummies). I ended up getting a lockbox. But honestly, the texture thing is real – my youngest hates the gummy texture, so I have to crush them up in his smoothie. Maybe try that?
LOL I feel you. I keep my magnesium and zinc gummies in a high cabinet, but my husband still grabbed them once thinking they were sour patch kids. Dude ate like 10 and then had the runs during a WOD. Not fun. I second the lockbox idea – safety first, bro.
I don't have kids, but my roommate helped herself to my magnesium gummies thinking they were 'healthy candy'... she was so disappointed when I told her they weren't sugar-free. 🙄 For the texture thing, maybe try the capsules or powder? Less tempting for little hands.
