My kid thinks probiotic gummies are candy – help!
So my 5yo found my bottle of probiotic gummies and called them 'yummy worms'. Now she tries to sneak them every morning. She says they taste like 'sugar and rainbows'. I tried to hide them but she's a ninja. Any minimalist storage hacks?
Probiotics are heat-sensitive so don't put them in the fridge. But maybe a lockable container? And explain to her that they're medicine for her tummy, not candy. My niece calls them 'belly buttons' lol.
I use a smart jar with a timer lock. Opens only at set times. My spouse once ate a whole bottle thinking they were peach rings. Now I have a Bluetooth sensor that alerts me if the lid opens too often.
Smart jar? That's genius. But I'm trying to go minimal – maybe just a high shelf. She climbed the counters though. Might need to get her to hate them... you think she'd dislike the texture? She's picky.
Texture varies by brand. Some are more gelatinous. If she likes sweet, try explaining that too many will make her poo funny. Worked for my nephew – he called them 'fart candies' and stopped eating them.
