We have always kept our first aid/medicines, etc in the guest bathroom linen closet but since we're moving we have a of different options- boys bathroom, guest bathroom, hall linen closet.  Just wondering what the norm is.

    In a cabinet in our kitchen.  He won't be able to reach there until he's plenty old enough! :)

    Kitchen.  They are way up high, but Colton can still get to them if he drags a bar stool over.  I only keep the vitamins out where he could get them on his own, all other meds are in a tackle box type box in that same area.  That's just where some of them are though, the rest are in our bedroom in a locked (tot lock) cabinet.  Eventually I'd like to go through them and make them all safer than they already are.  My brother got into a whole thing of flinstone vitamins when he was young and had to have his stomach pumped.  With the vitamins, I let Colton dispense them himself, but always supervise him only getting one of each, that way, I feel he is less likely to take a whole bunch on his own at once if he ever was tempted to do so.

    Kitchen, in the upper cabinet.

    They say that you shouldn't keep it in the bathroom due to the humidity breaking down the meds and seeing as I take super hot showers, it wouldn't work in our house.

    I had never heard this.  I wonder how ours hold up in the seperate room.  I wonder how meds in SE TX, where I am from and the humidity is usually in the 90% range, fare.
    Maybe I will spend some time tomorrow moving ours.

    I'll be the first to admit I have them all over the damn house. Bathrooms in the "medicine cabinet", in baskets in linen closets, in a box in the kitchen, in my purse, in the diaperbag, in my little going out without the kids bag.

    Personally I don't worry much about the humidity since they are sealed. I guess if you keep your drugs open or outside of their original packaging that would be one thing.

    I do really need to do the safe thing and put it under lock and key in ONE place. But I hate running upstairs just for an Advil. I take a lot of OTC meds on a regular basis in addition to supplements and prescriptions. Maybe an upstairs and downstairs stash. How or where to fit it all... hmmm...

    The kids meds are in the linen closet upstairs on the top shelf with a lock on the door.  DH's meds are on the top shelf of a kitchen cabinet.  Mine are in our bathroom which has a kiddie lock on it under my sink.

    We keep a few things in our bathroom, and everything else is in plastic boxes on a high shelf in our pantry - one for me, one for Mike, one for the kids.

    Like Taytee...we have them all over.  Some are in our bathroom above the toilet (in the closet); some are in a cabinet above the kitchen counter; I have some in his school bag and in my diaper bag.  At this point I am not really worried about it.  I don't think he could possible get to them now.

    Master bathroom water closet, there's a cupboard above the toilet.  We have a child proof lock on that door and there's no way DS could reach up there even if he did get in.
