When to give Pedialyte?

Question

Baby hasn't eaten since 1pm. She refuses a bottle and screams when we try. We've tried water.  We gave her 3ml of gripe water(she's had pretty bad gas for 3 days. Gripe water usually works for her). She screamed for 3 hours.  She's finally asleep. If she still refuses to eat, should we offer Pedialyte? If we need to at all.

Answer

I would ask your pediatrician. Google says under 1 year to ask a doctor and you dont want to get wrong medical advice on here. If your baby is refusing to eat/drink there could be more going on that requires medical attention.

Answer

Pedialyte is for electrolyte replacement in older children during vomitting and fever. I dont think it would nourish babies this young enough to keep them satisfied nutritionally and it doesn't make them want to eat. . 
If baby refuses to eat after 6 hours of the last feed, unless sleeping i would take them in to the doctor.

Answer

Have you tried swaddling her up to feed her? Sometimes that works for me. Sorry I dont knowbthe answer to the pedialyte question :(
