A member asked:
Can i give my 1.5 month old miralax (polyethylene glycol) for his constipation? no bm for 2 days.

Not recommended : Neonates with constipation should not be given medications orally. If true constipation is present (hard balls of infrequent stools), an infant glycerin suppository can be used short term while investigating and treating the root cause.
