My 5 Year Old Son Still Refuses to Poop on Potty!

Hi everyone! Ok, I have a very smart 5 year old son who has been "potty" trained since he was 2 1/2. I still can not get him to use the potty to poop. I was told by his doctor to ignore it and let him poop when and where he wants, and that he will eventually start going on the potty. I have kept pullups on the back of the toilet and whenever he needs to go, he will put one on himself, then come get me when he is done. We have talked to him about using the potty, but he tells us, "I'll poop in the potty when I turn 5." O.k, well so his...

Miralax for Toddler

My son has been battling constipation as we've gotten full into potty training. I know this can be a normal thing but we've had a couple of bouts here lately that have been really tough.

Miralax "Clean Out"

My son is VERY constipated and the dr said we had to do a "clean out" as he called it. We had to do Miralax 4x today, 4x tomorrow, then monitor from there. My question is when will it start to work? He hardly had anything today and I want this to get started (so we can get it done!). Any thoughts? I'm calling the dr on Friday if I'm not seeing enough "results" by then.
