?: You are using the ORS because your baby is having vomiting or diarrhea? I think ORS is best used without mixing with anything for 12-24 hours to maintain hydration and electrolyte balance. If your baby has diarrhea and it has slowed down, you may then want to introduce a lactose free formula and see how it is tolerated. Monitor your baby's wet diapers, tears and skin tone. See Dr. as needed.
