You can get it at Wal-Mart or a pharmacy store like Walgreens, CVS, Rite-Aid, etc. My son was sick right before christmas & I got something put out by gerber called Liquilytes, the only flavor my Wal-Mart had was Fruit Punch but it does taste better than Pedialyte. If you get those huge bottles of Pedialyte you have to use the whole bottle in 48 hours, that's why I also chose the Liquilytes over Pedialyte. Even tho the Pedialyte has almost a years Expiration date or more. The Liquilyte comes in 4 small seperate bottles for like about $5.00 & Pedialyte is about $6.00. If your baby is under a year ask your pediatrician first, Both Pedialyte & Liquilytes says to contact your pediatrician if under a year old.

My son won't drink Pedialite. You can give your kid juice or water if they won't drink the Pedialite, but the Pedialite is better for them because it has the right balance of electrolites or something. You can get it at any major grocery or at wal-mart.

Pedialite is a clear liquid electrolyte that you can purchase at a pharmacy or grocery store.

Pedialyte restores body water and minerals lost through diarrhea and/or vomiting. You can find it at most drug store chains such as cvs and walgreens and major retailers like target and walmart. They also have store brands that work just as good called pediatric electrolyte. My daughter and son had gastroenteritis and the doctor recommended pedialyte for the diarrhea they were having.

A fluid supplement for dehydration... largely pure water with a touch of salt and some minerals, if I remember correctly. Excellent if the child has had a lot of vomiting or diarrhea.
Should be available at any drug store.

It's a liquid that has electrolytes in it. It's in the grocery store in the baby food isle.

Any grocery store or drug store has it. Pedialyte helps the child get rehydrated. It's not the best tasting, but it works.

You can get it at any store. It's kind of like baby gatorade, it gives them electrolytes. Just an FYI though, it tastes REALLY nasty, I know alot of kids who won't drink it. My daughter's doctor said Gatorade was fine (plus it's cheaper), just give it to them in smaller amounts.
