A member asked:
Can my 11 month old son drink pedialyte diluted with water as a drink daily? it's 1:1 ratio 6 oz of pedialyte total per day.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why: It is no better or worse than any other source of fluids in his diet.It does not offer nutrients beyond the sugar and electrolytes in the product. If he like s the taste it won't hurt him but don't expect it to make him healthier.
