My 3 year old is potty training and is constipated...what do I do?

A half a cap of Miralax in any liquid (colorless, tasteless,etc.). It dissolves quickly & they don't know its in there. Its over the counter now - used to be Rx. No cramping, etc. very gental. Have to use it w/ my 21 month old daughter. I use a 1/2 a capful daily - just keeps her going regular and makes it easier to go - sort of like a softner.

I would give the child miralax. It is a laxative, but since it's a softener and not a stimulant it had no harmful side effects when given in the correct dosage. Don't let the constipation get out of control or your poor child could end up with a prolapse.

I use prune juice and milk. I mix a 3rd of the cup with prune juice to a glass of milk. I tell him it's coffee. He's 3 and none to the wiser. He drinks it up because he thinks he is a big boy like "daddy" and it keeps him regular. Prune juice isn't the expensive and could be used daily to keep him regular !!

give him a suppository

my mom has tried giving my little sister miralax and it hurts her

and she cant even walk and holds her butt and screams when she gives it to her and doesnt go until maybe 5 hours later and screams the whole time

(she is still in diapers)

she tried a suppository and worked great!
