Homemade Pedialyte

As with anytime something comes up in my house I start looking for a solution or a way to do it myself. So with that said, we have a sick child right now, and I was floored at the cost of Pedialyte. A little research shows several variations of this recipe, but for the most part it stays the same. As with anything that deals with your child, consult your doctor prior to giving to your child.

Homemade Pedialyte

1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. table salt
1/2 tsp. potassium salt
3 tsp. sugar (or flavored kool-aid, NOT sugar free)
Mix it all with 1 liter water

Version #2

4 cups water

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon Jello gelatin powder

Mix it all together.

Hope these help in your healing process of the sick little ones. Enjoy!
