A ten moth old should have a bottle. I don't understand the need to make kids grow up so fast. I've had 4 kids. I'm now a caregiver for my 23mon. old granddaughter. And shes sick today. Pedialte,yes is good,I gave her warm oatmeal with honey ,and some acai berry ,diluted juice for her. She refused medicine,and I'm not gonna force anything . Shes only eating a little,and not playing much. She fell asleep,so I'll figure out a flavor to add to her medicine,that she'll like..when she wakes up.This is her 3rd. day of being sick. I guess she had a bad night. I don't have a humidifier,but I boiled water,and put it on pellet stove. Its cold in our house.
