So my 4yo found the bottle of vitamin D gummies and ate like 5. I panicked but called poison control and they said it's fine but omg how do I keep these away from him? He keeps asking for "candy" and I'm like no that's medicine! Anyone else deal with this? 🤦‍♂️

Oh boy, that's a classic! I had the same issue with my niece. I started keeping them in a high cabinet and only taking them when she's not looking. Also, I explained to her that they're special grown-up gummies, not for kids. That kinda worked. Maybe try a different container too? I use a pill box that's hard for little hands to open.

Haha my wife did the same! She thought they were just regular gummies and popped 4 of them. She said they tasted weird 😂 Now we keep them in the fridge behind some veggies. Out of sight, out of mind. But seriously, if your kids are older, maybe get the capsules instead? Not as tempting.

I've been there! I actually switched to a different brand that tastes less sweet. My kid hated them so he stopped asking. But now I have to force him to take them lol. Also, I've heard locking containers are a thing. Might be worth it if you're worried about overdosing. BTW, glad everything was okay!
