How Long Does It Take Miralax to Work on a Toddler?

My 2 yr old daughter has been very constipated for the last two days. She says it hurts to poop so her pedi suggested Miralax (once a day/half a cap full). I'm just wondering if anyone has had any experience with Miralax and most importantly how long it took for it to work. I gave her the first dose at about 1pm today. My daughter is very uncomfortable :(

Help with Infant Constipation

I have an eight month old boy who has been battling constipation ever since he switched from breast milk to formula, which occurred when he was five months old. We have tried prunes, prune juice, lots of water, tried foods such as plums, apricots, and staying away from banana's and apples and still constipation persists. The doctor put him on medication but it makes him so gassy and irritable. How common is this? Has others had issues like this? If so, what have you done? Thanks for your help with this.

Introducing Solids to Daughter, Digestion Is Tough

I have a 5 month old daughter just starting out on some solids. We prepare fresh fruits, veggies, oatmeal and rice. She also enjoys cherrios and graham crackers. Obviously her digestion has changed, but should she labor with bowel movements? I think this may be the reason she was up crying every two hours tonight. Anyone have the same experience and any suggestions? I will discuss with our family doctor next visit.

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.
