constipation in my toddler- not sure what to do now
Ds is 21 months. hes had constipation issues basically since starting solids. the past couple of months have been worse though. On mon, I called ped - he had not pooped for a week. they had me bring him in. he todl me to do a glycerin suppositary and start him on miralax. DS finally pooped after the suppositary- he was hysterical screaming, but went. not a trememndous amount though. hes been on 1/2 capful of miralax a day since then- but he hasn't pooped again. now, not sure if i should just give it mroe time, or give mroe miralax, or even another suppositary- its been 3 days now. should i call ped agian?
fwiw- i have a well visit for him on tuesday, so goign to to discuss this all again

Have you tried a regular regimen of apples or pears? Some just have the opposite reaction to prunes!
