Air Travel Security

Hello Moms! Could you give me an idea of what I can bring on the plane in regards to juice and food? I have a one year old who is still nursing/bottle feeding with formula. I thought I could make up bottles and have the Flight Attendant put in warm water. What about juice, applesauce, etc... Thanks!

18 Mos. Old LOVES Pedialyte--too Much??

Hi, moms! A couple weeks ago my 18 mos. old son got a stomach virus, which caused diarhea and vomiting. He was sick for a week and so we got him some pedialyte to make up for the lost electrolites, etc...Well, it was pretty much the only thing he could keep down. Now, fast forward a week and that's what he wants to drink instead of regular juice!!! He'll drink milk fine, but as I said, he won't touch juice (even the same flavor as the Pedialyte). My question is: Will having him drink that instead of juice be bad for him?? He has...

15 Month Old with Cold Sores

My daughter has had 102 temp since Fri and been absolutly miserable....so I finally got into the doc today and they told me she had "her first outbreak of cold sores." And that her mouth (inside) was covered in them which is the reason for the fever and pain.

I feel so sorry for her and the doc said this is a very painfull and demanding diagnosis and that there is nothing that I can do except Tylenol to help with pain. Has...

Help with Digestion Issues

Hi Moms, I need some help for my little boy. For the past two weeks he has had a cold/infection (stuffy nose, cough, etc). It runs for a couple of days, gets better, and then comes back. At the same time he is having some digestion issues, mainly diarrhea. He has not had a solid bm in 2 weeks. On doctors orders, we fed him nothing but formula, pedialyte, rice cereal and bananas for days. Not helping. Do you have any of your own ideas on how to treat this chronic diarrhea? We need it to stop as we can not give him antibiotics for the...

Does anyone know if it is okay to give a 4 month old baby pedia-lyte? Since yesterday my baby is gotten this crazy cough and after she is done coughing she throws-up.

I go to the Dr. tomorrow but wanted to know about any home remedies that would be good for her.

Refusing to Take Pedialyte

My son is 8 months old and is vomiting. I have tried giving him different pedialyte flavor drinks to help reduce dehydration, but he is refusing to drink them. He did take a bottle but unfortunately that came back up after an hour. What can I give him instead or is there another way to give him pedialyte to ensure he stays hydrated?

Pedialyte and Hives

My almost 3 yr old had some Pedialyte a few days ago (first and only time she's had it). Then two days later she got hives. Has anyone else experienced this? I went online, and it is listed as a common symptom. She had them yesterday; then after the meds, they went away. Now they are back again, but in different spots. I have lots of experience with excema (she gets it alot), not so much with hives. Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated.

My 20 Month Old Has a Stomach Virus and Not Eating or Drinking!

This past weekend, my daughter stayed at her father's house. Her little cousin was there and had just gotten over a stomach virus. When she came back home on Sunday, she was vomiting everything! Then later started throwing up some green stuff. We took her to the hospital and sat in the emergency room for 6 hours! She never had a fever during this time. The doctor gave her an IV because she was so dehydrated and did not make a wet diaper for 9 hours. They finally sent her home later that morning. Since then me and my parents caught the...
