Dr. Tip for Rehydrating sick young ones

I heard this from a friend's Dr. the other day. To keep young kids hydrated after the stomach flu, cut a clean washcloth in 2in. squares and soak in pedialyte, gatorade, water or watered down apple juice. Place in freezer on cookie sheet until frozen solid. Place in baggie and pull out as needed. This kept her 2 yr old happy and busy for 20 min. per square. There is only about a TB in there so it won't be too much on their system, but gets a bit of fluid back in. Plus if they are running a fever the coolness helps too.
