A member asked:
Is it ok to give a 11 month old pedialyte if they are not sick, once in a while, instead of juice, since it is like gatorade?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure, but...: There is very little of anything in Pedialyte, so adding a bit of Pedialyte to one's regular daily diet is the same as adding a little bit of water to one's normal daily diet. That means it would be a waste of money to buy Pedialyte for this purpose. However, if one always keeps Pedialyte at home, and is trying to use up old stock, anyone can drink the Pedialyte... and baby can have a little also.
