I think my daughter is dehydrated and I would like to try to make jello water instead of having to take her off of her formula again and going through that mess. Thanks!

Assuming you are referring to a baby that is over the age of 6 months here are some Oral Rehydration Solutions you can make at home (I do not know the process for using jello).

NOTE some of these recipes call for honey or sugar. DO NOT use honey in children under 1 year.

This Jello water is bad news for anyone let alone a baby. It has all kinds of preservatives and lots of sugar. Contact your child's doctor before trying any of this stuff. Pedialite might be OKay(with the doctors okay first).

Don't give a baby Jello water. Try white grape juice or pedialyte.

If she is dehydrated, don't take her off formula. Take her to the doctor to get a proper diagnosis. You can use Pedialyte or Gatorade also. I personally won't use Pedialyte because it contains artificial sweeteners.

I don't know about jello water. Perhaps you should try some Pedialyte, instead.

If your going to use pedialyte make sure you don't use it full strength mix it with water. You really shouldn't use gatorade because it has alot of sodium in it.
