We live in Georgia and the past few months the weather has been insane !!! 68 one day and snowing and ice at 22 the next. With all that mix and mess my kids have had a runny nose and all the head junk for to long !! But I can normally handle that with breathing treatments and good essential oils. But last week both kids got the stomach virus which I consider to be the worst of the worst !
Jack my two year old is always the worst ! We had to make a trip to the ER for dehydration and the very first thing they brought me was Pedialyte I wasn’t surprised I ALWAYS use it !! But the doctor having it at hand in the ER was a huge plus. It was late and even though my Walmart is open 24 hours I didn’t want to get him out. But of course the next day I made a special trip to stock up.
Having sick kids is tuff especially if you have a full time job, two kids, homework, and a “real” life and most of the time we need some help my go to is and always will be Pedialyte it gives my kids back the real deal…. You know that stored up crazy hyper real kid feeling.
I’m wondering if there are any moms out there that has never tried Pedialyte ? It’s cheap and easy to find at Walmart and oh so worth every drop !
GET THE FACTS:
Pedialyte is the #1 pediatrician-recommended oral electrolyte solution.
We can lose vital fluids when we’re sick, but Pedialyte helps prevent mild to moderate dehydration.
Pedialyte is available in liquid, powder packs and freezer pops, making it easy to rehydrate at home or on the go.
Popular household beverages like sports drinks, juice, and soda don’t meet the medical guidelines for helping to prevent dehydration due to diarrhea and vomiting. These drinks are too high in sugar and too low in sodium, which is an important electrolyte lost due to diarrhea and vomiting.
Pedialyte comes in many flavors for children and adults and in different forms and sizes to suit their needs.

**I have been compensated by Pedialyte for this post; however, I am sharing my own thoughts. All opinions are my own.
My super, super, super (ugh! so annoying!) kids won’t even drink pedialyte! but I make it into popsicles and they love it 😉
In the UK we don’t have any of this. We can get something called Diaoralyte from the Doctor but it can’t be bought outright in our shops or pharmacies. It’s a satchet of powder we add to water and tastes mildly of blackcurrant. I wish we sold things like this as it would save wasting a Doctors time when kids get tummy bugs x
I don’t have kids yet. Yet, gearing up, I wonder what the natural alternative is to such a product?
We used this a few times when kids were sick
Watching a child be sick is the worst feeling. Glad you found a products that works and shared it with others.
I’m not a mom but being sick is no fun and I’m sure watching your little one sick is horrible especially if in the hospital.
I do have to laugh because I’m in Texas and we have 2 seasons in one day it will be 40 in the morning 80 by 1pm .
I’m sorry your babies are continually sick. Down here in Florida, it’s slightly better, but this wacky weather is doing a number on my household as well. Hang in there! It’ll be straight 80-90s soon enough!
All I can think of when I see Pedialyte is that scene from How to be Single where she drinks it to cure a hangover… maybe that’s what I need since I don’t have kids! haha

I hope they both are feeling better love, and that you get some well deserved rest after nursing them back to health! xx
Oh no!! I hope our kids feel better soon <3 Mindy
When my four month old was in the ER with pneumonia and a double ear infection, Pedialyte is the first thing they gave her! She had only eaten an ounce here and there for about 10 hours. She chugged it right down and it immediately had her acting more alert. It was so scary! Now we keep it on hand any time she is sick.
I never had to use pedialyte with my own child, but I have a friend whose daughter went through that stuff like crazy.
I’ve always used Pedialyte for my kids. It works awesome.
I’ve never heard of Pedialyte. Seems like a really good and effective solution, I’ll take it into consideration!
We always keep some in our house for those sudden sicknesses! It always seems to help him feel better. We’ve even used it for ourselves when needed (great for hangovers).
I’ve definitely seen the magic that is pedialyte when babysitting a super sick kid. She hated the taste, which I thought was odd, but I definitely noticed that it worked. I didn’t know they had it for adults, I may need to stock up for myself!!
I’m not fond of that kind of sick. It’s one of my fears. People throwing up makes me run for the hills. It’s very important to keep hydrated when it does happen though.
I love that they make a clear version. My kids always bring it back up so hate the color ones.
I love Pedialyte too. When my son had serious bowel movements and I was worried he would be dehydrated, that’s what we had him drink. Thankfully, he doesn’t hate the taste of it.
Oh yeah Pedialyte is a very great thing for when kids are need hydration. Love the fact that they have different flavors
I could never get my kids to drink pedialyte when they were sick. I like the comment about making it into popsicles. That might work.
Pedialyte is a time and mom tested product that really really works. Hope your little one stays healthy!
What is your full time job? Yes pedialyte is a great product to keep sickness under control great way to raise awareness.
We have had crazy weather in the midwest as well. Pushing fluids is always best for a sick kid or adult.
Pedialyte is a good staple to have. So sorry your little one was sick.
It’s crazy when our kids are sick. It’s better if it were us, right? It’s like double the worry and the panic. I am so thankful there are plenty of ways to make them feel better. Pedialyte is a regular in our household too when the kids are sick.
I don’t have small children living with me but will most definitely let my daughter know abut his.
Never heard that before. Glad you shared it, this is so helpful.
I always have one of these at home! The best thing about this is the different flavor they have!
I love pedyalite it’s amazing and very useful not only for kids plus the variety is amazing wich is extremely helpful with the kids
We have used pedialyte many times. My kids like it frozen.
Funny thing, we are having the same weather here in Northern Florida and my son has the head cold. I have had to increase his fluids as well.
When I lived in the USA and my little cousins would get sick we would always get them Pedialyte. I haven’t given this to my son though. He hates anything that may resemble medication lol I think I should make Popsicle out of them next time.
We used to aleays keep this on hand when the kids were little. It works great and gives you peace of mind.
I gave that to my kids. It’s such a great way to make sure they’re hydrated!
I hope he feels better soon, its hard when your kid is sick. I heard this product from a friend of my who’s daughter was sick. This is good to prevent dehydration.
I am guessing this isn’t available in the UK have never come across it but looks great
I love pedialite!!!! Now only if I could get my kiddo to drink it when she’s sick! I will admit at my old age, I still drink it if I’ve been throwing up etc….
Thank you for sharing!!
It’s so hard to watch little ones get sick! 🙁
My sister won’t drink this, so my grandma mad it into Popsicle’s.
Pedialyte is a life saver when the kids are sick! I live in Alabama so I totally relate to the crazy weather. It has been nuts. I’m glad your little man is feeling better. ER tripe are no fun!
I’ve occasionally used this when my kids were little but luckily they have grown out of those days! Hope he feels better!
We really struggle to get my older daughter to drink fluid when she is sick, so we use pedialyte like crazy!
I was really lucky when my daughter was little as she hardly got sick but when she did , I used this. It totally works
Having sick kids is hard work- especially when you have more than one sick at the same time. We use pedialyte and we love the pedialyte pops too!
Having sick kids is the worst. I always feel so bad for my kids when they are sick. 🙁 Pedialyte does work well though!
My mom has used this for everything including animals since I was little. She swears by it! I don’t remember drinking it as a child but I remember how healthy the dogs were!!
I hope he feels better?!
Water is the only liquid our body really needs and of course a good medical solution is required! Get better
Pedialyte is a miracle worker! Stay well. XO
Taking a lot of liquid is certainly important when we’re sick. Water and medical products like this are great solution to prevent from dehydration.
I love pedialyte for the kids! And it’s great for dehydrated grown ups too!
I don’t have kids yet, so this isn’t something I have experience in. Thanks for sharing some of my options for the future!

He is so adorable, i hope hes feeling better. I didn’t like when my children were sick I felt so bad for them. I remember sleeping with them because I was so afraid to leave them alone.
Having sick kids is the worst. My sister uses Pedialite for my niece and nephew whenever they are sick,
I consider a small family, but my husband is one of 7 children so I get that big family feel when we have family gatherings on his side. I must like it because we are on baby #6 (and possibly we are the reason that the average here in the US is 2 rather than 1 like in Canada and most of Europe according to your chart!)
