[quote=Anonymous]Yes - I have a kid who is chronically constipated. Definitely go see your pediatrician, but you might want to go see a pediatric gastroenterologist, too. Dr. Serrano at Georgetown is thorough and excellent. Have you tried diluted prune juice? I don't know if it's ok to give babies Miralax, but this is go-to recommendation from pediatricians for older children. What I've learned from the experts I've talked to is that some people are just predisposed to this problem and food won't necessarily fix it if it is truly chronic. Hopefully it is a short term issue related to weaning but you are smart to seek help because it can be a real source of stress and discomfort for a kid. I wish I had taken it way more seriously when my child was younger. Good luck![/quote]
