Miralax "Clean Out"

My son is VERY constipated and the dr said we had to do a "clean out" as he called it. We had to do Miralax 4x today, 4x tomorrow, then monitor from there. My question is when will it start to work? He hardly had anything today and I want this to get started (so we can get it done!). Any thoughts? I'm calling the dr on Friday if I'm not seeing enough "results" by then.

I Took My 6.5 Month Old Daughter off All Baby Food

Because she was so constipated, it was horrible. So after about a week on bottles only, her bowels movements went back to normal. Now, she has never pooped every day, so she has gone 3 times the past week. The first 2 were great (only a mom!), but yesterday she had a little bit (normal color and consistency), and today a little bigger but still not the big one I am looking for. Also, lucky me, since she is off food we are back to the middle of the night bottle. She is still less than 16lbs, so she does need the bottle. My question is this:...

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!

Anyone Use Miralax?

My almost-3-year-old had horrible constipation issues that were finally resolved w/ Miralax. It works wonders. My ped told me it is OK for him to stay on it awhile, but I wondered if anyone had any experience w/ long-term use? I'm concerned that if he becomes too reliant on it he will have a difficult time later on. Any advice?
