rehydration solution - make your own pedialite

[Guest guest]

Dear Ysha,

 

This is the recipe for the rehydration solution that saved my son's

life as a baby, and many children and babies since then;

 

1 Quart white grape juice

1/2 tsp. salt

1tsp baking soda

8 tsp sugar

1 Quart water.

 

give 1 tsp.every 5 minutes for children who have stopped actively vomiting

 

if vomiting still occurs, rest belly for two hours, until no further

emesis, then begin to administer 1/2 tsp every 20 minutes.

 

this is weight dependent, I do not know the child's size so make your

own determination. (Increase when tolerated).

 

Love to you and all that you serve with care and compassion.
