In the end, you either give the child the Miralax/ or tons of fiber so they can poop or you deal with a cranky child in discomfort all day. Your choice.
The child was not cranky or in discomfort at all. If he was, I would have considered letting him drink it.
But, good to know that it may not cause blowouts. However, I still don't think it was appropriate to send him to daycare with it
Dcm had several days where she could have given it to him at home, but gave it to him the one day he comes to daycare.
