Can a child consume too much pedialyte?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really.: If the child has healthy kidneys, it will get rid of extra water and electrolytes that it doesn't need.

For breakfast, I have coffee and oatmeal and then I don't eat much until dinner. I worry that I'm not getting enough electrolytes in the middle of the day. Can I supplement with Pedialyte, or do I have to eat more food?
