[quote=Anonymous]So my 8-year old son is still wearing pull-ups at night. Wakes up with them pretty soaked. Totally day trained for years now. He seems mildly embarrassed by it but not enough to do anything about it. I thought he'd decide to work on it when his sister finally gave them up about 6 months ago (at about 6.5). I know that it's probably due to unrecognized constipation. We did have an X-ray done about 16 months ago that showed no abdominal mass, but the pediatrician wants us to do the miralax treatment anyway. We just moved and I was waiting for the summer when we didn't have to go out of the house for a few days. I can't find the doctor's notes now about how much, how long, etc. Anyone have bee there, done that advice? Do I do one spoonful of miralax in a cup of milk (or whatever) 2x? 3x a day? For how many days? I'm thinking not right before bed so he's not up all night in the bathroom (or worse, an accident in bed that's a lot messier and more embarrassing). He's not too excited about this so I want to do it "right" the first time so we don't have to drag it out or repeat it (plus I want to do it in the next two weeks before school starts). Help! Thanks![/quote]
