Eat a well balanced diet with fruit and veggies and drink water, not soda or koolaid

Fruit plenty of water fibre

Miralax can be really bad for kids (research polyethylene glycol). Make sure the child is drinking enough water, dehydration causes constipation. Give foods that are high in fiber. Stomach massages to stimulate bowel movements.

As others mentioned… I’d start with adjustments to water intake and diet. If that doesn’t help consult Dr. B/c we don’t know what age…no one can give you accurate advice here really.

Lots of water, probiotics. I buy my son Activia dailies for probiotics.

Apple juice or prune juice.

Prebiotics and probiotics and a good diet
