Gatorade should never be used for medicinal rehydration.  It has the wrong 
proportions to rehydrate an ill baby/child.  It was made as a sports 
hydration drink.

The hommade solution is fine and lots less expensive than pedialyte.

I agree, if a baby/child isn't very dehydrated they will reject the 
rehydration fluid (any type). Other fluids are fine at this point.  I f they 
are very dehydrated they drink it right up.  Pat in SNJ
