My toddler thinks my prenatal gummies are candy! Help!
So my 3-year-old just discovered my prenatal gummies in the pantry and threw a MASSIVE tantrum when I wouldn't let her have one. She kept screaming 'CANDY! CANDY!' I eventually had to hide them in the back of the fridge behind the pickles. But now I'm worried she'll find them again. Any advice? Also, my husband tried one and made a face saying 'these taste like chalky fruit.' Lol, anyone else dealing with this?
Oh man, I remember when my kids were little! They found my vitamins once and it was chaos. The struggle is real. You might want to invest in a lockable container or keep them somewhere super high. Also, maybe explain to your toddler that they are special 'mommy medicine' and not for kids. But hey, at least you're getting your nutrients, right? Hang in there!
That's funny but also a bit scary. I've seen kids get into supplements, and it's no joke. Make sure you're storing them in a place that's completely out of reach. Also, those gummies are super convenient, but they can be a choking hazard for little ones. Maybe try hiding them in a jar with a child-proof lid, like a medication bottle. As for the taste, I'm not a fan of gummies myself—too much sugar. Have you considered a different brand that might taste better? Or maybe just take them while your daughter is asleep?
Honestly, I'm skeptical about those prenatal gummies. I've read that they often don't have enough iron or other key nutrients compared to pills. And they're basically candy with vitamins. I'd switch to a high-quality prenatal pill and keep it in a place where no one mistakes it for candy. But I get it, they're easier to swallow. Anyway, just my two cents. Stay safe!
