Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 We are finally on Miralax after 3 1/2 weeks on Milk of Magnesia. Please share with me how some of you give your kids Miralax. My daughter simply doesn't drink enough juice...and she spit it out when I put it in her water. I have been putting it in her milk...1 tsp, twice a day...she is about 27 lbs. The doc said OK...but the company said it hasn't tested it in milk so they could not recommend this. I read that it takes two to four days to work...we are on day four, still no BM...but fingers crossed. Of course, by now my daughter is holding it in because she is afraid it will hurt. Help! Thanks!

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 You can mix Miralax in with anything, including applesauce, but your daughter has to drink at least 4 oz. during the day to make sure there is enough hydration for it to work. According to our GI, when she does finally go to the bathroom, it will be more like " mud " and will not hurt. There should be no cramping at all. Max was afraid to go after his g-j tube surgery, but after 5 or 6 days of Miralax, it finally kicked in and there was no problem. Also, it is better to give the Miralax at one sitting. It is more effective that way. Eventually, no matter how hard your daughter tries, she will not be able to fight the urge and it will just come out freely. Jodi Z.
