So last night I find my 5-year-old son chewing on my sleep gummies. He had the container and was like 'Mmm, candy!' I panicked and took them away, but he already ate like 3. He was fine, just a little drowsy this morning. Anyone else have similar stories? How do you keep these out of reach?

Haha, classic move! I'd recommend a child-proof lockbox. Also, maybe try gummies with a stronger melatonin smell? Kids hate that. But yeah, keep 'em high up. My niece once got into my magnesium gummies and had the wildest dreams lol.

Oh my god, that's scary but also kinda funny. When my husband tried my sleep gummies he said they tasted like 'fruity chalk' and refused to take them. Now I hide them in my sock drawer 😂. Maybe try a different brand? Some are more soft and candy-like.

Good suggestions! I'll try the lockbox and maybe switch brands. He's a sneaky little guy, though. At least he didn't get into anything worse! Thanks for the laughs and tips.
