A member asked:
Can you mix pedialyte with formula?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but why?: We usually use pedialyte for vomiting and diarrhea to maintain electrolyte balance. Formula with water is balanced and has appropriate nutrients so it really isn't necessary to mix pedialyte and formula. I might suggest using a teaspoon or two of formal in a bottle of pedialyte for a child who won't drink anything but milk..This gives the taste of milk with more pedialyte.
