Pedialyte dosage

Grant can only have clear liquids after 8am until 11am and I want to give him pedialyte because his scan isn't until 2pm. He barely eats baby purees and doesn't get water. He is about 17lbs if that matters. How much is okay to give him? I doubt he'd want more than 4oz.

    When my baby was on liquid diet.  I gave him as many ounces as he was drinking normally.  Like he was drinking 6 oz bottles of formula I gave him 6 oz bottles of pedialyte.  My baby liked it.  I'd buy a few flavors and see which was is most popular.  Grape was a fave in our house.

    When DD was on pedialyte, they said "as much as she'll take." I don't think you'll need to worry about over feeding him.  GL!!!

    I'll agree with the "as much as he'll take" comments.

    We are on diarrhea day 8 over here and I give him as much pedialyte as he is willing to take. It is if they are refusing to drink anything that you have to resort to droppers/Tbsp every 15min until you get as much in them as a normal bottle would be, etc.
