A member asked:
Does pedialyte increase appetite?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Pedialyte is extremely low in calories. Because of the lack of calories, it leaves babies hungry. They will need to be fed more often. The pedialyte should not be used more than 24-48 hours without another food source.
