Can I give my 5 month pedialyte?!

Question

So lately my little one has been having diarrhea and I have called the doctors and they said to just watch over it and make sure he isn’t continuing to have the same problem if he is I should bring him in but I was just wondering if I was able to give my five month son Pedialyte because he is losing the nutrition and his diet.

Answer

No, breast milk or formula provides all the hydration and nutrition they need.

Answer

Yes. If you're worried about hydration, it's okay to give Pedialyte. I always add it to a bottle.

Answer

The purpose of pedialyte is to rehydrate with the right amounts of electrolytes since the baby is losing more electrolytes than usual having diarrhea. I wouldn’t cut the formula out though, pedialyte doesn’t have fat or protein.

Answer

Nooooo. Breastmilk or formula only.

Answer

My daughter when she was around this age had 2 weeks of bad diarrhea. I used to give it to her to stay hydrated. Also don’t do baby food because it will make it worse. Just try formula. If they aren’t eating or don’t want bottle water and pedialyte will be good and try again with formula

Answer

No. Breastmilk or formula will give all the nutrition he needs.

Answer

Yes
