Miralax for Toddler

My son has been battling constipation as we've gotten full into potty training. I know this can be a normal thing but we've had a couple of bouts here lately that have been really tough. So his pediatrician finally convinced me to buy Miralax today. I have been really reluctant to give him anything "unnatural," preferring to use prunes and that kind of thing, but she explained that after an episode or 2 of constipation the end of the bowels can actually stretch out a little, making the next poop that forms bigger than normal, and it...

Moms Who Use Miralax

Our son was just put on Miralax by a nutritionist. We started on Thursday and the pharmacist recommended 1 tsp a day for him. It's Sunday now and no sign of a poop. For all the moms who've used this med on their kids, do you remember how long it took to get initial results? And about how long were your kids on it before their systems became regular? Also, what is the dosage you were told to use? My son is 2 years old and about 28 pounds. Thanks!

He will be three next month. The funny thing is that I tried potty training last Nov. in which we stoped because he had H1N1. He was also getting one flu after another at school. During that time he...

Potty Training (#2 Issues)

Ok so here it goes...the dreaded potty training issue. My 3 yr. old daughter is mostly potty trained but she has trouble with #2. She has continual constipation issues and I believe that she's in that negative cycle of not wanting to go so there are slight accidents of staining or full blown accidents though a full blown accident is few and far between. She holds it in and then the cycle continues as I'm sure you all know. I've tried Miralax, a small dosage, and all it does it create leakage, Prune juice seems to work pretty well, I'm...
