Questions about Electrolyte solution fluid replacement
How do you give electrolyte solution to a baby?
Offer small, frequent sips from a spoon, cup or bottle rather than letting your baby gulp a large amount. Follow the product instructions and any advice from your child’s healthcare professional.
Do you mix electrolyte solution with water?
Ready-to-drink solution is used as it comes. Dissolve sachets in exactly the amount of water stated on the packet; adding extra water or using less can change the balance of salts and sugar.
Can you give electrolyte solution to a baby under six months?
Ask a healthcare professional before giving it to a baby under six months. Do not use it instead of breast milk or infant formula unless you have been advised to do so.
Can you give a baby electrolyte solution instead of milk or water?
It is not a routine replacement for breast milk, formula or drinking water. Use it only as directed for fluid replacement, and keep offering your baby’s usual feeds unless a healthcare professional advises otherwise.
How long does electrolyte solution last once opened?
Keep opened ready-to-drink solution refrigerated if the packet says to, and discard it within the stated time. Prepared sachets also need to be stored and used according to their instructions; do not keep them beyond the specified period.
Can babies have sports drinks instead of electrolyte solution?
No. Sports drinks are not formulated as a substitute for electrolyte solution for babies. Choose a product intended for fluid replacement and follow its preparation instructions.
