One more question about Miralax

[Guest guest]

Thanks to all those who responded to me about giving Miralax through the g-tube.

I have

put the Miralax in 's feeding bag to give to him with his overnight

feeding for the

last 2 nights. Despite shaking the bag well before & during the feeding, the

Miralax did

not go down the tube. The first night I gave himk the full dose (17 grams) &

last night I

gave him half of that to see if it would go down. This morning, the Miralax is

still in the

feeding bag, all clumpy. How are those of you who are giving it with continuous

feedings,

getting it to go down?

Kim,

Instead of putting it in the bag, mix it with 2 ounces of formula

and bolus it through the tube. Then cut back the overnight feed by

the two ounces. That should work. That is what we do for .

You may need to mix with a little more formula than that (we only

use 1 teaspoon of miralax). Good luck,
