My kid thinks gummy vitamins are candy – help!
So my 4yo found the bottle of multivitamin gummies and ate half of them in one sitting. I panicked, called poison control, they said he'd be fine just maybe a tummy ache. But now I'm worried he'll sneak them again. Anyone else dealt with this??
Oh man, that's terrifying! I'm a med student, and we see this all the time. Keep them in a high cabinet, not the pantry. And maybe switch to a brand that doesn't look like candy? Some have weird shapes or are sour. Also, talk to your pediatrician about iron content – that's the dangerous part.
Lol, my husband did the same thing! He grabbed a handful thinking they were fruit snacks. Now I hide them in the fridge behind the veggies. He never looks there. But seriously, get a child-proof container.
Good ideas! The fridge is genius. I'll try that. Also, my kid hates the texture of the chewy ones – says they're 'slimy'. Anyone else have a picky eater who refuses gummies?
