[quote=Anonymous]We added a multivitamin with probiotic when my oldest was about that age. Pediatrician had recommended miralax but we didn’t want to go that route. It helped. I think back then we used culturelle. Now we’re doing an olly gummy with probiotic.

We also couldn’t get her to eat prunes but we limit dairy and push dried fruits - raisins, dried blueberries, mango leather, craisins, etc. We offer daily and she can have as much as she wants. We also do bran flakes - she likes that for her cereal now (she’s almost 7) but at 2.5 we made bran muffins at home with zucchini or carrots, and flax seed. Basically however we could increase her fiber intake. And lots of water.

Our pediatrician continues to mention miralax as an option but we’ve been successful enough paying attention to her diet, and now that she’s older she is able to communicate with us more about it. I know for some kids miralax is really the best option, but one of my nephews had a miserable experience with it so we keep wanting to avoid it if we can. [/quote]
