Getting 3 1/2 YO off the Nap and Night Time Pull-ups

Hi Moms. I need your advice! We have been potty training for about 6 months with my DD. She is at the point where she really does not have anymore accidents with #1 (pee). She asks to go to the bathroom or we take her there if it has been awhile since she has gone. The problem is, we have used a Pull-up during naptimes and overnight. After naptime, or in the morning, her Pull-Up is usually pretty soaked. She does not get many liquids before sleeping time (only during lunch and at dinnertime). I have attempted to let her try napping...

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.

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!

How Much Miralax Should I Give My 6 Yo?

I have a stopped up little girl who is just recently out of pull-ups for BM's and is scared, therefore, resistant to "let it go" in the potty. Her Ped suggested Miralax, but I don't know how much to give her. I just bought a bottle at CVS and it says 17 grams for 16-adult. Anyone know how much to give?? Thanks everyone!

Miralax Vs. Suppositories

I took away my son's pullups and he is withholding his stool now. Today is the 3rd day. I think he just needs to poop once in the potty and he'll be OK. He's scared of the notion and he needs to see that it's OK to poop in the toilet. So I know there's a buildup of poop in his system. he was dancing around yesterday trying to hold it in. I've given him lots of fiber and juice/water so I know it's inevitably going to come out soon. In case it doesn't by tonight, I want to make him go so he doesn't get constipated. I'm debating the...

Any Moms Use Miralax?

Hi Everyone! I am just curious if any of you have used Miralax for your little ones. I have a seriously constipated 3 yr. old who was actually impacted the other day. Dr. prescribed Miralax (polyethylene glycol) for him to use daily. I have no objection to using it, we have tons of patients on it in our Internal Med office, but they are adults. I would like to know how your kiddos reacted to it, any tips or tricks you found helpful, etc. Trust me, I have tried everything possible to ease this naturally through diet for him. ...
