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.

I've given him lots of fiber and juice/water so I know it's inevitably going to come out soon. In case it doesn't by tonight, I want to make him go so he doesn't get constipated. I'm debating the...

Won't Go to the Potty!

I am desperate and in need of help. My beautiful 3 year old daughter will not have a bowel movement on the potty.

I don't know what to do and it's upsetting me. She is afraid to go due to the fact that it hurts her. I don't know what to do to help her understand that she needs to go more often. I am afraid I am going to start...
