How safe is Miralax for a toddler? My daughter (will be 3 in August) got dairy-ed 3x in the past two weeks (I was nannying seven kids- one who kept sharing her snacks, I swear this isn't the norm!) Anyways, she's been constipated every since. We've been pushing fluid, giving prunes, breastfeeding, giving juice, giving a few teaspoons of coconut oil, she eats veggies and whole grains, getting plenty of exercise, basically everything crunchy one could think of. She's passed a few stools but they are hard and extremely painful to pass, so now sometimes she avoids going when she clearly has to. Took her to the pediatrician today and she rx'ed Miralax. I'm inclined to try it, the kid is suffering so bad.

(also we cannot try Epson salt baths, she's terrified of bathing.)
