A member asked:
Can you warm pedialyte? it says to refrigerate after opening, but my baby seems to only like it at room temperature.

It's fine to serve..: At room temperature. Pedialyte is refrigerated after opening simply because once its opened it can become contaminated and "spoil". Refrigeration protects against this, just like it does for other foodstuffs. Refrigeration was a huge advance in food safety. For your child, store the opened container in the refrigerator, then poor some in a cup and allow it to warm up. This way the stock stays cold.
