NSBR - need some mama help

[Sarah8914]

So, my oldest has lots of consipation issues... here's the order the doc gave us of things to try:

1. Increase juice and water (which you have done... also any "p" fruits are good... peaches, pears, plums)

2. milk of magnesia and mineral oil (it's called something slightly different, but that's it basically--and it sounds like you've tried that too)

3. Miralax, like others suggested. That's what we did with my dd. The store brand was still like $15!! Our doc said to mix it with juice, so that's what we do... and even after a good bm, you can still do it for a few days... then just as needed.

I've read that they keep it in more when they know it will hurt, which is probably also happening with your son, so hopefully you can get it resolved!
