  1. lol calm down.. she is fine.. just may get hyper.. its not going to harm her at all


  2. no it wont harm her it mite make her awake but wont do harm to her  

  3. Nope do not fret, but for future reference to get faster answers you probably should call poison control. I mean one time my sister (who is 2) was given an allegra d pill by my other sister (who is 3) and knowing her she ate it. So I called poison control to get fast answers even if it wasn't as bad as other things that could happen. You get answers automatically. Just in case something bad ever happened. Good luck with your niece!!!

  4. It DEFINITELY won't harm her! I have to wonder with kids and caffeine if it's really going to speed them up or slow them down. Since caffeine is technically a stimulant and other stimulants are used to slow kids down and calm them, I wonder if maybe small doses of caffeine wouldn't have the same affect? It's just a thought, but I don't want to find out either!

    I can tell you the one time my daughter had caffeine~~barely 7 at the time~~she went to "Horton Hears a Who" with her class and she was given a large Dr. Pepper at the movie theater and that didn't make her any more hyper than normal.

    At any rate, I'll stop my rambling. Just know that it won't harm her since it's a one time event, but try to keep your drink out of reach next time.

    Good luck!

  5. No it won't harm her.   Might get her a little hyper for a short time but nothing to worry about.

  6. Its just going to make her hyper. Unless she is actually allergic to anything in the drink I really don't think you should worry about it. Just make sure she doesn't have any more. But there are alot worse things she could have gotten into.

    She will be fine.

  7. call her pediatrician


  8. she'll be fine, it might cause her to be a little more hyper but it won't hurt her.  my mother and grandmother give my three year old caffeine all the time, i don't but they do and she is fine.  

  9. it wont harm her but good luck gettin her to sleep
