Feeding Guide for the First Year

She might have become exposed during pregnancy to a medicine containing this hormone. More commonly, genetic changes — called mutations — will tell her fetus to produce too much testosterone or to make this hormone at the wrong time.

Readability Score:

Both males and females make the hormone, but in very different amounts. When this happens very early in development, a baby may be born with one of several conditions.

There is no scientific evidence showing that DSDs cause or are linked to transgender identity. DSDs are rare, notes William Reiner.

The grape-size adrenal glands manufacture small amounts of testosterone — in everyone. A mutation in genes might instruct these glands to produce an oversupply of androgens. They already make lots of androgens, so their bodies would hardly notice a little more.

Girls born with CAH, however, can appear masculinized — more boy-like. Doctors refer to this condition as intersex.

We’re here to help.

In severe cases, a baby that is genetically a girl may at birth visually appear to be a boy. Babies born with characteristics of both sexes sometimes undergo surgery soon after birth. This would make their genitals look more characteristic of their genetic sex.

Other times, doctors and parents together must decide which gender to assign a baby. Reiner often sees patients who are born with DSDs and have intersex features.

Feeding tips for your child

He also studies children and teens who transition to a different gender the opposite of the one they had been assigned at birth, based on their apparent biological sex. Some of these children are transgender. Others may have encountered conditions in the womb that altered how parts of their body such as the genitals developed. Another type of genetic error, or mutation, prevents the body from making an enzyme needed to produce DHT. This hormone is more powerful than testosterone in differentiating the male body.

So too little of this enzyme could cause the bodies of male children to appear feminized. Can I freeze Pedialyte not the Freezer Pops? We do not recommend freezing any of our Pedialyte products unless they are specifically designed to be frozen, like Pedialyte Freezer Pops. Pedialyte Freezer Pops contain an ingredient carboxymethylcellulose which keeps the pops from freezing solid like ice cubes and allows them to be more "bite-able.

Pedialyte is an oral electrolyte solution that is specifically designed to replace vital minerals and nutrients that are lost when a child has diarrhea with or without vomiting. Pedialyte is effective because it contains only a small amount of sugar glucose that is balanced with appropriate levels of minerals electrolytes. Pedialyte is designed with this precise combination of sugars and electrolytes to promote fluid and electrolyte absorption.

In general, common household beverages such as sports drinks, sodas, and juices are too high in sugar and too low in sodium—an important electrolyte that is lost during diarrhea and vomiting. Why are sweeteners added to Pedialyte? Why not just add sugar to make it sweeter? Pedialyte contains the quantity and ratio of sugar glucose and minerals electrolytes recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. This precise balance of sugar and electrolytes makes Pedialyte effective in the management, treatment, and prevention of dehydration due to diarrhea with or without vomiting.

Without added sweeteners, Pedialyte is not sweet enough for many children to drink.

Adding sugar to Pedialyte may make diarrhea worse by drawing water into the intestine, increasing the risk of dehydration. Adding sweeteners makes Pedialyte taste good without the risks of adding sugar. When Pedialyte tastes good, children drink enough of it to maintain hydration and replace needed minerals when they have diarrhea and vomiting. How much Pedialyte should I give my child?

How often should I give my child Pedialyte? For infants under 1 year of age: For children 1 year and older: Begin with small frequent sips every 15 minutes, increasing serving size as tolerated. Continue for as long as diarrhea is present. To maintain proper hydration, 4—8 servings 32 to 64 fl oz of Pedialyte may be needed per day. My son doesn't like the new product.
