I'm sure this recipe can be googled, but the triage nurses at our pediatrician gave us instructions to be very exact with the ratios in this recipe to help Alex's tummy bug.
I like this not only because it will save you money but because, when you have a baby/tot who is tummy sick,...the last thing you want to do is throw them in the car and drag them to the store. Because lets be honest...it's hard enough to clean up throw up and blow out diapers when you're at home. Plus you don't want to spread germs. The good news is that I bet that ALL of you will have these ingredients in your kitchen already.
Hence you will save money and also a trip to the store with a sick kid.
Homemade Pedialyte
1 quart water
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
4-8 tsp sugar
Note: I halved the recipe because I didn't think Alex would drink that much in a reasonable amount of time. Ask your doctor how much and how often to give for your kiddo's particular case.
Diego was just over one the first time he had a stomach bug, and our Dr gave us this exact recipe and I blogged about it too! Its so easy, saves money and saves that trip to the grocery store with a sick baby in tow. Hope Alex feels better soon!
