So my 3yo saw me eating my prenatal gummies and now she's convinced they're candy. She threw a tantrum because I wouldn't give her one. I can't hide them high enough, she's like a little ninja. Anyone else deal with this? Also she hates the texture of the regular gummies, so she won't eat her own vitamins. 🙃

My husband tried one once, said it was 'chewy but good' and now he steals them for a snack. 🙄 I keep our kids' gummies in a different cabinet. But for your 3yo, maybe get the ones that look less like candy? Or hide them in your purse? Kids are relentless lol

Haha, classic! I actually wrote a blog post about this: 'How to Keep Your Prenatal Gummies Safe from Tiny Terrors'. Pro tip: get a childproof lockbox for supplements. Also, there are prenatal gummies with a stronger herbal taste that kids find less appealing. Texture thing might be helped by switching to a melt-in-mouth tablet for her? Just a thought 🤷‍♂️

Didn't think of a lockbox! And yeah, I might try different brand. She's determined though. Yesterday she climbed a chair to reach the top shelf. She's a mini mountaineer 😂

Oh man, that's scary but kind of impressive. You might need to anchor the shelf too. Or get a safe lol. Good luck!
