Husband gave extra vitamin to 2 yr old...will this hurt her?

[spanannie]

My husband was getting Advil and, of course, he offered them vitamins (at almost 8 o'clock at night...brilliant...I really hope these don't keep them awake), which they perceive as candy...and he gave my DD one, when she had already had one this morning. Will this make her sick? She weighs just over 25 lbs, and these are Rhino Daily Grubs.

Thanks!

One extra vitamin isn't going to hurt her, the vitamins will just pass through her system. The problem is when you have lots of them, then they can become toxic. So don't panic.

Thanks!

That makes me feel better, though I'm infuriated with my husband. If he gets something out of that cabinet, the kids start flipping out, since they know that's where the vitamins are, and, then, he always offers one. They aren't candy!!!!!

I do have a lock on the cabinet, so they can't get to them on their own.

I'm sorry. Husbands don't always know how to handle that sort of thing. I hope he learns to not give in.

Funny you mentioned this.. my friends husband gave their children 3-Rhino vitamins the other night because he thought they were candy.

Duh!!! Men!

Geez, sounds like my DH. I started putting x's on the calendar so he would know if I gave DD her "bida menchens" that say or not. ;)
