Ahh, my baby is sick for the first time and mommy's not taking it so well... I've been reading different things about how to keep her hydrated, and I read that there are "baby friendly popsicles"... but I can't find any brands. Do you just freeze pedialyte? Or is there actually something out there?

What can I do next?

you can actually buy pedialyte Popsicles that are already made. You can find them where ever pedialyte is sold.

There are actaully pedialyte popsicles out there-Watch though when they freeze they get extermly hard so the little ones can't choke on them.

Pedialyte makes sticks that you freeze. Personally, my children and I prefer Liquidlytes by Gerber. You can usually find them at CVS or Walgreens.

Hi A.,
Pedialyte has ice pops. Since she is so young I would mash them up in a cup and give her a little at a time. (Brain Freeze) If you feel she can suck on a full pop with biting off a piece big enough for her to choke on try it that way. I know how you feel. My son didn't get his first cold until he was over a year old and when it happened I was a mess. Good luck you will both make it!

Hi A.. Just wanted to let you know I am a consultant with Arbonne and we have awesome vitamins for kids that are all natural which comes in a packet, great for on the go, which you can add to juices or water, also freeze them so you can make sure your baby is getting her vitamins and staying hydrated. Im not sure about freezing the pedialyte - sorry to hear about your daughter being sick. If you would like more info please let me know. Good luck...

Dear A., I know exactly how you feel, my now 3 yearope this old was in the hospital for dehydration when she was 6 months old. They had recommended pedialyte freezerpops. They can be hard to find and I am not sure where you are from, but I have found them in Walmart and our local Giant Eagle either in the Freezerarea or in the baby section and you could freeze as many as you wanted.I hope this helps and your daughter feels better soon.

the ones made by gerber are the ones that my son likes as well, you buy then in the same section as you would baby food in the grocery store then you need to freeze them. if your baby is keeping other liquids down I wouldn't give them to her w/o discusssing it w/ your ped.
just give the baby what you normally do in the cup. water alone actually is not recommended if they do have diarreha/ vomitting b/c is does not replace the electrolytes lost, thus why they have these pops & drinks. i've always watered down juice.
good luck, hope she feels better soon!!

There are acutally pedialyte popsicles that you can buy from your local CVS or drugstore. Many babies do not like pedialye though. There are other brands other than pedialyte. Ask your local pharmacist. Hope this helps and that the baby is feeling better.

Hi A.,
Having a sick child is very scary for parents even if the doctor says it's a mild cold. There is nothing mild about it to a concerned parent! Pedialite does make popcicles. They usually are a little hard to find, but they are definatley worth it if it will keep your child hydrated. You should be able to find them at an Eckard or Walgreens or CVS pharmacy. Those are the best places to look.
Good luck, I hope that your baby gets better soon!

There are actual popsicles but I've never bought them myself, I've seen them at a friend's house. I'm sure you can find them in the baby aisle along with the Pedialyte or other baby medicines (i.e. Tylenol). If not, I don't see why you can't freeze Pedialyte...it may be more "fun" for your daughter to eat. Good luck.

Im not sure how sick she is? Does she have a stomach flu or a cough cold sort of thing? If its a cough and cold, I would just give your baby regular popsicles. The Pedialyte ones taste horrible. Its hard to get a baby to eat something that tastes gross. When my kids got sick Id just hold the popsicle for them to make sure they didnt bite off too much. If its a stomach thing and they need electrolytes replaced from vomiting, then pedialyte would be the way to go.
Hope she's better soon !

Pedialyte does have popsicles but I use the regular popsicles that you get from the store. I think they're called freeze pops. They seemed to work just fine for my little one and she loves them. Hope your little one gets better soon!

Pedialyte makes popsicles (the push up kind in the medicine isle), but freezing it in popsicle moulds might work too...your daughter is pretty young though and I can't remember what age popsicles were OK so I'd watch to make sure she doesn't choke on ice chunks or such.

you only need to keep her hydrated if she's not keeping anything down and she isn't wtting at least one diaper every 8 hours. if you are bf then try giving her the popsicles. otherwise you can mix formula with pedialyte. you should be able to find pedialyte brand popsicles in the baby aisle. or you could make your own and save a few bucks.

They make Pedialyte Freezer pops. They are sold on the shelf with right with bottled Pedialyte. You could always make your own popsicles with fruit juice though too. Hope your little one feels better soon! If your child has diarreah, skip juice though. 100% fruit juice makes it worse. You are better off with kool-aid to get the diarreah to stop.
