My granddaughter is 6 mts old with in utero stroke and wts 5.2 kg. constipation is an issue. she is breast fed. no bm x4 days. dosage for miralax (polyethylene glycol)?

Constipation: If your daughter is breastfed she can have a stool with each feeding, go once a day or go aslong as a week without having one. All this is normal and not considered constipation and as such MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) is not needed.
