She was on 1/2 tsp in 2 oz of water/juice/milk/whatever, but they told me to up to 1 tsp in same amount (or more liquid, but it guaranteed she'd take it in with less) after awhile because it wasn't really doing it.</p> <p>my 4 year old nephew takes 1 tsp in about 8 oz once per day, due to dietary issues, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miralax-for-toddlers#post-1158234 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 08:57:31 +0000 Mamaof2 1158234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the replies</p> <p>@lulumom -we go the Ped next Tuesday to adjust her dose</p> <p>@MrBee - thanks for the link! Looking back my son had a dairy allergy and was dairy free until 2 - he has no issues at all. I will look into the fish oil and other supplements too!</p> <p>Right now I am limiting dairy to 2 times a day - I need to wean her, haha, she loves milk, yogurt and cheese!!!</p> <p>Her stomach isn't hard at all but its still pretty big - my son's was flat by age 2.5 so sometimes I wonder if her diet/constipation is why? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miralax-for-toddlers#post-1158220 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 08:52:23 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1158220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>maybe she is having tummy troubles. when charlie was super constipated, we used a suppository and it worked wonders instantly. sounds like the miralax is working though... so give it a little more time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miralax-for-toddlers#post-1158215 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 08:50:27 +0000 mrbee 1158215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We struggled with this with our toddler too! Might be worth trying dietary changes?</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2013/05/22/treating-constipation-with-dietary-changes/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2013/05/22/treating-constipation-with-dietary-changes/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miralax-for-toddlers#post-1158209 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 08:48:26 +0000 LuLu Mom 1158209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I would give it another day or two, she still might be feeling the affects of the medicine doing its work, if not maybe call the doctor abotu reducing the dose to see if that helps her get back to her normal sleep? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miralax-for-toddlers#post-1158202 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 08:46:28 +0000 Mamaof2 1158202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: Yes she pooped 2 times after the 1st dose and again this morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miralax-for-toddlers#post-1158182 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 08:38:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 1158182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>has she pooped yet? It might be that she can feel the Miralax "working" and knows something is coming? If she's that backed up, she's probably a little uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miralax-for-toddlers#post-1158153 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 08:25:12 +0000 Mamaof2 1158153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I realize lots of moms have "babies" on here but hopefully some have older kids too =)</p> <p>My daughter has been dealing with constipation issues since birth but her Ped 2 days ago decided to put her on Miralax after going 7 days w/o pooping.</p> <p>Its been 2 days and her sleep has gone to hell! She usually goes right to sleep at 730pm and I wake her up at 630am. Now she is sitting up in her crib until 830pm and wakes at 5am! Maybe its a coincidence but nothing else has changed except the Miralax!</p> <p>Anyone else here use Miralax? What was your experience? </p>
