I hate buying Pedialyte, it’s just so expensive, and then I feel like it gets wasted because it’s never completely gone and I have to throw it away. I wanted to make my own for my baby, as she was sick this week, and milk was not helping out in any way. I looked up a few different recipes on the internet, and made my own.
Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups of cold water
1/2 cup of boiling water
2 teaspoons of powdered jello, I used strawberry
3 tablespoons of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of salt
Directions:
Pour the jello, sugar, and salt into a pitcher.
Add in the boiling water and stir until the powdered ingredients are completely dissolved.
Add the rest of the water, stir, and refrigerate.
I like that this mixture is so simple, you know what’s in it, and it tastes a little bit better than the Pedialyte in the stores. It’s very easy to make and with ingredients almost any parent would have on hand.

Thank you so much for this!!! It is so expensive!!
I havent had to buy any of this yet but I may one day so I appreciate you posting this!
Great old school recipe! My family has always made a homemade solution like this. I will never use Pedialyte because of the chemical sweeteners it contains.
I love this recipe, and I can’t afford the regular half the time, and so this will be easy enough,and something easy to keep around. Thanks
This is awesome. I never knew you could make your own Pedialyte. Im definently going to keep this recipe for when I need it,because Pedialyte can be so expensive to buy. Thanks for the recipe
I’m so excited to see this post! My entire family just got over a nasty flu bug. My girls (4 and 2) got the worst of it. They could only drink a tablespoon of pedialyte every 15 minutes or so. We spent SO much money on bottles of the stuff. I will be trying this out for sure!
Thanks for this recipe it will come in handy for my nephews on the next round of sickness
Thank you so much for this post. My son hates regular pedialyte, but he needs to drink something when he is sick. I am thinking maybe he will like this since it doesn’t have all the “extra” processed stuff. We will have to try this next time he is sick (hopefully not any time in the near future.) Thanks again!
Oh, wow- I had no idea you could make this at home! Thank you so much for sharing! Every little bit of savings helps in our family.
This is getting printed and put away for a rainy day
thanks for the share!!
Wow! I bet this does taste better than the Pedialyte in stores! I usually cannot get my little one to drink it, but I’m certain she would drink this! Thank you for the recipe!
I’m definitely going to hold onto this recipe! I actually needed some pedialyte a couple of days ago for a sick dog and this would have come in handy. Thanks for the recipe!!
Wow, that’s great! Pedialyte seems so expensive and wasteful to buy when it’s mostly water anyway, I never thought about making my own!!! I’ve also heard Coconut water is a good alternative but also costly to buy.
Wow, I didn’t know you could make this at home! Thanks for the info!
my grandson will not drink pedialyte, maybe the next time he is sick I will try this, it sounds like it would taste pretty good. thanks
What a great idea. I have to start looking for other recipes I can make at home for babies and older kids too. Everything is so expensive these days and the coupons aren’t all that available when I need something and baby items like Pedialyte are rarely, if ever, on sale. Thanks. I will definitely make this.
Thanks, this is a great money saver! I passed it onto my daughter and to my niece for their babies!
Great recipe and quite a savings over store bought. Thank you!
Thanks for this. Very inexpensive alternative.
Awesome recipe! How long will this last in the fridge? I know with the regular pedialyte brand, they tell you to use it within 48 hours. Will this last longer?
Thank you for posting!
Wow, what an awesome idea! I have not had to buy any yet, and hopefully with this, I won’t have to. Thanks for sharing!
I’ll have to remember this recipe! Thanks for posting it!
My daughter has never been sick enough that I had to give her pedialyte but if the day comes, I am glad to know I can make it myself!
My son loves this ! we have had a battle to get him to drink water lol he gets confused since it has no flavor but i made this for him he loves it i use stevia instead of sugar so the sugar content is lower thank you for the recipe
