Fluids on an upset tummy

BabyHope2013

DS has had an upset tummy for the last 24 hours. I think he's getting sick of pedialyte. The pediatrician said to avoid juice and refrain from milk if possible. DS is 20 months old. Any ideas on what else to give him?

Why not water?

On my last trip to Target I was looking for some pedialyte and I found an electrolyte drink that was coconut water based. I think it was from Ella's Kitchen?

Our doctor told us to give DS jello (he won't drink pedialyte). Worked great to keep him hydrated when he had a bad stomach bug

Smart water- it tastes like plain old water, but has electolytes. I prefer the taste to Gatorade when I"m sick.

Thanks all. He will drink water but not really as much of it as he needs. We did Gatorade and I'll run to target this morning to look for that coconut water.

we are dealing with the same thing and mine liked pedialyte for a day and doesn't like it anymore. We are giving her coconut water. It's hydrating and full of potassium. My doctor approved it as well.
