Mama Tip– Pedialyte
If you have a kid (or a spouse) who’s been sick, odds are you’ve been told to push fluids– especially Pedialyte. The main problem: they have to include suggestions on how to make it more palatable.That’s how simply nasty the stuff tastes.
The last time I was forced to think about this I bought some Pedialyte of the “unflavored” variety and mixed it (instead of water) with apple juice concentrate.
No complaints and great compliance. Works for me!

Great tip! (And I love your new banner!) The Pedialyte freezer pops work too, but they’re really messy. And who wants another mess when you’re already dealing with tummy issues?

Great tip!! My kids hate the stuff, but I’ll give it another try. Thanks.

what a great idea!!! I had given up on this product although appreciate it’s usefulness…now I too can return…you could think about contacting the company with the idea…they may send you a free case of the stuff?!?!?! Hope no tummy issues enter your house for a long time!

What a great idea! I’ll have to try that- although I hope I don’t need it for a long time!

I did the same thing. But they really liked the freeze pops so that’s what I mostly used.
