So my 5yo found my nighttime gummies and thought they were fruit snacks. Ate like 10 before I caught him! He was super sleepy but fine. Now I keep them in a high cabinet. Anyone else's kids go gummy-crazy?

Omg that's my biggest fear! My husband almost did the same thing 😂 I hide mine in a vitamin box that looks like a puzzle box. Works like a charm.

I use a timed lockbox for my melatonin gummies. Kids are determined little creatures. Also, i found that if you explain they're 'special sleepy candies' only for adults, they lose interest. weird but works!

Texture is the issue at my house. My kid says they're 'slimy' and refuses. I tried freezing them – he said they're 'candy ice cubes' but still won't eat. Any recipes to disguise them?
