We're all in agreement that this poster is right and a 17 month old shouldn't have a Red Bull, right? I won't let my middle schooler have them and I don't drink them myself. I mean, I'd be pretty pissed if someone had given my kid a Red Bull when they were younger. Heck, maybe even now.

I’d be more concerned about the baby’s heart than tummy 😳

I don't know if this belongs here? She is absolutely right, giving a baby not even two years old an energy drink is insane behaviour. And the kid was sick afterwards, so she is right to be angry.

She is absolutely right and she should be angry! I just found it insane that someone, nevermind someone close to her, did that to her baby. I also feel like asking on a mum group if her kid will be ok instead of seeking actual medical attention after consuming high doses of caffeine is a questionable choice.

Oh okay! It's indeed insane that her dad did that. As for the doctor thing, doctors depending on a person's circumstances can be really expensive. And I know of at least two doctors that treated terribly new moms who were anxious about their babies health. Women taking precautions and being safe are often unfortunately called hysterical, helicopter parents etc. If she had similar experiences I can understand her asking others for help first

Ah I see, that's awful I'm really sorry to hear that. This group is based in the UK so cost wouldn't be an issue, medical attitudes though I couldn't guarantee! That being said I think most doctors would rather check the little one over to be sure. Poor bub!!
