Popsicles??
Ahh, my baby is sick for the first time and mommy's not taking it so well... I've been reading different things about how to keep her hydrated, and I read that there are "baby friendly popsicles"... but I can't find any brands. Do you just freeze pedialyte? Or is there actually something out there?
So What Happened?™
Thank You! We'll see what works!!

you can actually buy pedialyte Popsicles that are already made. You can find them where ever pedialyte is sold.

There are actaully pedialyte popsicles out there-Watch though when they freeze they get extermly hard so the little ones can't choke on them.

They make Pedialyte Freezer pops. They are sold on the shelf with right with bottled Pedialyte. You could always make your own popsicles with fruit juice though too. Hope your little one feels better soon! If your child has diarreah, skip juice though. 100% fruit juice makes it worse. You are better off with kool-aid to get the diarreah to stop.

you only need to keep her hydrated if she's not keeping anything down and she isn't wtting at least one diaper every 8 hours. if you are bf then try giving her the popsicles. otherwise you can mix formula with pedialyte. you should be able to find pedialyte brand popsicles in the baby aisle. or you could make your own and save a few bucks.

Pedialyte does have popsicles but I use the regular popsicles that you get from the store. I think they're called freeze pops. They seemed to work just fine for my little one and she loves them. Hope your little one gets better soon!

There are actual popsicles but I've never bought them myself, I've seen them at a friend's house. I'm sure you can find them in the baby aisle along with the Pedialyte or other baby medicines (i.e. Tylenol). If not, I don't see why you can't freeze Pedialyte...it may be more "fun" for your daughter to eat. Good luck.

Pedialite is a medicine to hydrate usually for diarrhea and vomitting. You should only use the suggested amount from your pediatrician. If the pediatrician says not to use it, what about a little bit of good old fashion water for hydrating her?
