so this maybe a dumb question but with pedialyte (or however it's spelled) is there a difference other than flavor wise?

Pedialyte is like a salt/electrolyte solution to help with dehydration a day I would pick a flavor because it's not all that tasty. Some people mix it with juice. And grape is a fairly popular flavor.

When my oldest used to get sick we would give him Gatorade instead of pedialyte his pediatrician said it would do the same thing.

OK thank you so much @chichimango for a 10 month old how much do I give him.he is dehydrated and I called his Dr and she said since he wasn't running a fever to give him pedialyte and see if that makes a difference by tomorrow

but she failed to tell me how many ozs to give him and how often. @chichimango

I didn't know that I wish I would have. I thought he might be to young for Gatorade but next time I do thanks for the info. cause all his Dr said was try to get him to drink water by adding a little sugar or juice to give it flavor and if he still refused to drink it to give him pedialyte @kaylareese26

@wyatts_mommy_0106, it says to consult doctor for children under a year old. but try calling a pharmacy and speaking to a pharmacist and see if they can give you some guidelines.

OK thank you so much I'll ask the pharmacy @chichimango

@wyatts_mommy_0106, Hopefully your lil one will feel better soon. All my best...

Try coconut water instead. None of the sugar and dyes and it's better for rehydrating and replenishing electrolytes. You can mix it with milk or formula too if needed.

thank you @chichimango

how many Oz's can I give him of the coconut water? I have coconut water w/pineapple will that do the same thing? @kmally

I would start with about 2 oz. Plain would be better but the pineapple will help with the taste ;)

OK thank you so much @kmally
