Miralax for kids?

[oregonpachey]

Do I remember reading on here that you can safely give kids Miralax every day? Or is there another alternative? My child is constantly blocked up no matter what we do. He gets plenty of fruit, fiber and liquids.

Yes, it's safe.

Yep, DD gets a half cap everyday. The trick is figuring how much they need. At first our pedi GI said up to 2 cap fulls per day, and that turned out to be way too much!

When DS was super constipated, we did half a cap for a week and it took care of things. Now we give it as needed (constipated poops for more than a day).
