My son has had three liquid poopy diapers ( sorry tmi ) in the last two and a half hours. This is not normal for him at all.....normally I'm lucky if he goes once a day. It's to the point where some of it soaks into the diaper. My question is should I be giving him pedialyte to keep him from getting dehydrated?

    He's 6 m..do I mix it with water or give it straight

    I gave it to him straight or mixed with juice to mask the flavor. He didnt drink much at a time though. I also breastfeed as much as I could/as he wanted. Is he feverish or cutting teeth? My sons was b/c he ate a whole thing of pears and it cleaned him out...

    I think he's got it from gerber chicken and gravy . How much did you give him? I've never used it so I have no clue what to do with it.

    I tried 2oz at first by itself and then added juice when he wouldnt take it...

    I give my lo pedialyte when she has loose poop so that she doesnt get dehydrated but i give it to her cold and in a sippy cup thats the only way she will drink it. U should try it.. hope the baby feels.better

    I got the unflavored Walmart brand....I compared ingredients and they're the same. I mixed it w a little gerber white grape juice and he loves it! Lol thanks for your help!!

    He's still going....not frequently but still very very runny. He's gone five times since yesterday. I thought it stopped but woke up to a FULL diaper. Should I call the Dr or wait it out?

    Call the doctor....is he running a fever? They're probably gonna tell u to give him pedialyte for 24 hours
