it says on the back of the pedialyte bottle to use it within 48 hrs after opening... why is this? does it go bad after 48 hrs?

I don't think it is dangerous for them, but I think that the electrolytes don't last long, and babies need to have the electrolytes for brain development while they cannot have breastmilk or formula.

I always wondered about that too. I usually end up paying more money for the small bottles rather than the more economical big jug since I don't want to throw so much away after 48 hours!

Follow the directions, I wouldn't take chances with the baby.You can always call the Doctor or pharmacist for any questions regarding medicine. Pedialyte is a medicine.

yes.
of course, I don't know how it can get much worse! That stuff is a completely foul tasting drink. I don't know how babies put up with it.
