Re: How safe is Miralax for a toddler?
I would far rather give miralax for as long as needed than to deal with a bad constipation issue.
We tried the natural remedies first because I heard so many horror stories about the miralax. But then it took four to five months for the Miralax to work properly and our child was able to retrain to poop when their body needed to poop.
Had I just done the miralax when the doctor sggested it (child had impacted bowels) for a month, I could have avoided the 5-6 months that we spend on that poop aid from first dose to not needing it at all.
She is completely weaned off of it now and has not needed it since.
