Dr. Joseph Bouvier answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

See below: Only use the pedialyte if the child is not taking breast milk or formula. These are the primary foods for a 2 month old child. Pedialyte is a rehydration fluid and if your child is vomiting or having diarrhea or both, get her seen to determine if she needs fluids.
