For everyone who uses Mirilax or suggesting it I just wanted to put this out there.
My son was prescribed that for constipation and we found out it was the cause of severe night terrors for him. If your child ever seems to have a sudden fear of the dark or wakes up in a panic it’s because of the Mirilax. This is something that is researchable to as I found lots of information of other parents who had the same situation with Mirilax and their young children.
I’m not putting the stuff down just letting you know incase you have any issues like this you know why. I did switch to fiber gummies for my son and taking them nightly helped him produce a bm on a regular basis the next day. Sometimes it did require two gummies but it worked for him.

Both my kids had bad constipation…this is what 3 different pediatricians recommended to us! (Yes, I got 3 opinions!).
Works perfect and on very little time.
But be careful the first time you use it…there may be hard lump of poo come out and it will be kinda painful but it will make the baby feel better instantly.
I used it, then quickly put diaper back on and BOOM… it worked within 5 minutes.
A little Dark Karo syrup in the bottle always helped my kids

Karo syrup in some water…
I give my son probiotic powder in his drink in the mornings and he poops no problem a couple hours afterwards. He is a little over a year old 14months to be exact but the pediatrician informed me to give it to him the one I get is specifically for kids and over the counter.
If it is hurting really bad when she tries to go she could have an impact ion or something worse going on… after 5 days I would take her into the ER. If there is an impact ion it can turn to sepsis.

My sons having the same issue. He’s the same age. The Dr told me to give him a stool softener. I mix it in with his bottle once a day. It’s worked for us!
ER and they’ll prescribe her pooping meds. You’ve tried everything. 5 days is to long. They can give her a temp check with the butt thermometer. That might help.
I’m not a doctor just giving my experience. It was more of a diet change. Adding fiber and lots of water. But the quick solution was a suppository or miralax. The doctor prescribed it and worked well. Miralax takes like 24 hours and a suppository is like 10 min.

My son just had a constipation issue yesterday, although he didn’t go but almost a day without pooping. He’s a month old but what helped him poop was a warm bath then when we took him out we put a thermometer in his butt and rubbed his belly and pulled his legs to his belly and he was finally able to poop

Our doctor had me use miralax, and had me use some Vaseline on a q-tip and apply some just inside their bottom, it helped the poop come out easier. Also, pear juice works wonders.

Children’s glyserine suppositories they do help. Their uncomfortable for a moment if that doesn’t work consult a physician but they will give relief.
Restoralax! My son is 3 and we’ve had this issue with him since he was a baby!

Brown sugar in warm water helps 
Coloxyl drops are also good
Gas relief drops actually cause constipation. It says it on the box. Our doc has us give our daughter dark karo and its works everytime
Glycerin suppositories. Work like magic. You can get them over the counter at Walmart. Less then 5$. Keep them in fridge for future use. Probably only need 1/2 of one to get her movement started.

Glycerin Suppositories. You can get almost anywhere. Most grocery stores or pharmacies carry them.
Ask your pharmacist they have just as much knowledge as a doctor and don’t mind talking to people, they are also available weekends.
My little one had the same thing and her doctor told me to give her miralax

Could be impacted. Use a rectal thermometer gently and it should help to release the poop.
Dark corn syrup always worked for my son. He’s 14 now.

Does she drink formula or breast milk? If it’s formula, try one without iron like Gentlease. Iron can make some babies constipated.
Miralax… no im not crazy… my daughter was born with ibs… miralax was a prescription before it hit the shelves… i’d mix with apple juice… get her to her pedi and then a gastro… just a suggestion… she was about 4 when she was moved to miralax

There are many prescription and over-the-counter laxatives available to treat constipation. One of these options is mineral oil. Mineral oil is a lubricant laxative. It’s been used for many years to make it easier to have a bowel movement, and is generally considered safe and effective.

Hey mamas. Check out Not your average mom group:metal: it’s a mom group for any kind of mom. Lots of fun, love and good advice in there 
If it’s been 5 days there’s most likely as hard mass at the end that they cannot pass. After trying pear juice and all the other things, I have to resort to Suppositories. It made her super uncomfortable but it got the job done. Then (not sure on age) we got osmilax. It helps with consipation and contains fiber for good poos. See the chemist and they will advise on the best procedure for their age. Better out now then leaving it to get worse and back up. Make sure they are having plenty of water. (Warning also it can continue after for a while so keep to fruit veg and good fibre foods and not too much dairy or breads) wish you and your little one the best x
Infant’s friend. Best stuff ever!
Warm sugar water worked every time for mine
I used to have to lay them on their back, and push their legs (knees) up, and help them push it out. But I would rub vaseline around their bottom and it comes out so much easier.
When this happens we undo babies diaper, push their knees up and in, and rub around the tail bone. When they start pushing I help them by pushing their knees into their abdomen. When I see it trying to push through I keep going and sometimes help it out with my finger. When done I then scrub my hands for like five minutes.
