Homemade Pedialyte

 

Pedialyte is expensive. I only buy it when I have coupons for it, which isn't to often. I like to give it to Skylar to make sure he's hydrated, especially when he's sick. When I found out that I could make my own I was thrilled! There are several different reciepes you can use but here are two of them.

 (I made a double batch here of Recipe #2)

 
Pedialyte Recipe #1:

• 1/2 cup hot water
• 3 1/2 cups water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon Jello gelatin powder mix, any flavor

Mix salt, sugar and Jello with hot water until dissolved. Stir into 3 1/2 cups of water and serve. Refrigerate up to 3 days.

Pedialyte Recipe #2

• 4 cups water
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3 Tbsp sugar or honey (remember that infants under 1 CAN NOT have honey)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• optional: 1/2 packet unsweetened Kool-Aid

Mix all ingredients together and serve. Refrigerate up to 3 days.
