Re: the poop withholding – my son went through the same thing. We ultimately took him to the GI and they switched him from Miralax to Exlax. They explained that Miralax does not actually stop withholding, whereas Exlax does because it literally contracts the bowels. We are not out of the woods yet – as we haven’t finished the recommended course before starting to wean him – and still have to figure out potty training with all of this – but it has definitely helped him pass a regular BM everyday. Might be worth a conversation with your pediatrician about whether a switch would help.
