I actually have a jug of this in the pantry just in case. I like to be prepared. However, once you open them, they tend to go bad in two days.
Whatever you have not used in two days will need to be discarded. Pedialyte is a solution that helps replace water and minerals that have been lost, usually due to a bout of stomach flu or other nasty illness. It has the sugar, sodium, and electrolytes that your little one needs to help solve or prevent dehydration. Prevention is why I keep a spare bottle of this stuff. As soon as they keep throwing up , give your kids an ounce or two an hour.
You can prevent a trip to the hospital for severe dehydration this way. Pedialyte comes in various forms. These are single-serve Pedialyte popsicles. Bacteria tend to grow slower in the freezer, which is a huge bonus. They do last significantly less than the other varieties though and need to be tossed after months. Making homemade freezer pops is a great idea. I wish I had thought about freezing Pedialyte when my son was little. My kids were sick all the time when they were little.
I swore by pedialyte pops for a sore throat! With two young kids and a baby on the way Pedialyte is used often around here. Frozen would be better received. I need these Zipcycle bags stat! I hope I can find them here somewhere. The eldest just got over a flu that lasted over a week, and looks like the younger one is about to have the same fun.
The eldest loved cold things, like pads and ice cubes, so this would have been a huge help for us, especially when he could barely keep anything down. Thanks for the heads up! Making freezer pops is a great idea. Love this idea!! These sound perfect for the kids. This is such a good idea. I love that you can make a bunch with one bottle. Great idea! I have never seen those bags before! I try not to buy a lot of freezer pops because they are so full of sugar.
These would be great to make our own freezer pops at home. The idea to use leftover Pedialyte is great! This is a fantastic idea for kids. When my kids were younger and not feeling well i could always get them to try a freezer pop.
I will have to share this with my friends with little ones. I love this, and I think this is great for teens too. No, we do not recommend mixing Pedialyte with formula.
When Pedialyte and formula are mixed together, the nutrient and mineral content of both would change, along with the osmolality. The mixture could also become clumpy and hard for your baby to drink. Should I continue breastfeeding while giving my baby Pedialyte? While it is recommended that an infant or child continue breastfeeding during bouts of diarrhea and vomiting, since each situation is different, we suggest consulting with your health care provider to determine the best course of action for your child.
Can I mix Pedialyte with water? Apple juice? Ginger ale? Pedialyte's specific blend of minerals and nutrients contains appropriate and balanced amounts of sugars and electrolytes in a particular quantity of fluid. This formulation is important for maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in children who have abnormal losses, such as can happen with diarrhea.
If other fluids are added, the quantities and ratios of electrolytes and sugars may be altered, making the product less effective. Additionally, adding other sweetened fluids could draw water back into the intestine and make diarrhea even worse. Therefore, no other fluids should be mixed with Pedialyte unless recommended by a health care professional.
And it's important to note that when mixing Pedialyte Powder Packs, only 8 fl oz of water should be used per serving. Why does Pedialyte need to be discarded in 48 hours? For example, if someone touches the surface from which the product is poured, any bacteria on the person's hands can be transferred to the product.
This is called touch contamination. The bacteria grow slowly at refrigerator temperatures, but over time, the amount of bacteria can become significant.
