UH OH! My son drank most of my energy drink...

Oh my, he must be an active bunble of joy right now. Kids definitely don't need an energy drink to wear their parents out. Maybe a warm bath and some warm milk may do the trick.

Don't go for the hot chocolate. I know my 4 year old would think of it as a treat, and act like that every night (energy drink or not) just to get it! LOL You're best bet would be to remove all the stimulants around him. Dim the lights, put on quiet music or a boring TV show and just relax. Let him lay in your lap and rub his temples or his tummy, any light rhythmic movements would work. That's what we do when our kids are overstimulated and it works everytime. GOOD LUCK!!

Hi maddysmommy i see this was made 21 hours ago and from your comments he has settled down now.Just be more careful ok dont want any harm done to your son.Take care. disvachic

Yeah, I think warm milk would be good. I drink hot cocoa when i can't sleep but someone mentioned it had caffeine so maybe just warm milk.

Oh my goodness maddysmommy I feel for you! Kids are hyper enough and bed time can be a nightmare! But with an energy drink inside them? #shudders# I woulod be careful - make sure he takes plenty of fluids for the next day or so and beware - he may be VERY grouchy as he comes down! xxx

yep, i'd go with milo or just warm milk on it's own! I'm not sure what the other person was going on about but if you're concerned, just read the packaging :) it'll tell you whether or not there's caffeine in there or not! If you aren't sure, just try a bottle of warm milk, my daughter loves plain milk on it's own so i never have any trouble getting her to have a bottle of just plain milk! I think it'll settle him, or at least fill him up enough to get tired. Either that, or you could just try to wear him out by playing etc, depending on how long you plan on staying up for! Good luck :)

OMG! Well its now monday and I hope you got him settled down. What happened? And what did you do to settle him down?

Hello maddy. I hope your son is sleeping by now. I'm not sure about Milo though since it is also an energy fortified drink. What about a glass of milk. I heard from a lot of people that this help put them to sleep better. Sorry can't be much help here. :)

Hello Maddysmom! As you already know my son too can be a handful at times even without the energy drinks…lol.. CHOCOLATE milk is defiantly not the way to go with this, yes, warm milk would be good but I usually take my son outside and play baseball, basketball or any kind of activity that can keep him excited and occupied for at least an hour. After words we get inside and I give him a glass of cold milk and a snack and send him into the bath. If I am lucky he will get out and sit in front of the television for a while before falling asleep…lol…when he wakes up he is usually still a little tired and just plays in his room. It is okay to let him loose and run around at least for a while, so that he can release some of the energy he gained from the energy drink. I hope this helps you, and don’t be too hard on yourself we all can’t keep an eye on our little ones 24/7, he will be okay as long as he let’s out all that energy.

wow kids are already hyper usually without energy drinks! i can't imagine what you must have had to cope with. wonder why they seem to have boundless energy... i'm not sure what an antidote to an energy drink is... usually as adults we'll just try to calm ourselves down and close our eyes to let the effect wear off, but it's gonna be harder for a little one. i expend quite a lot of energy mylotting, so maybe it's time to introduce him to mylot!
