Ode to MiraLAX

Dear MiraLAX,

Thank you for saving my sanity.

I think you alone are to credit for finally getting my last child poop potty trained.  More than a year after his potty training adventure began, I think its fair to say we have it mastered.  After months & months of fights & tears, and bribes & threats, I think we did it.  We discovered quickly that a whole cap of MiraLAX daily was too much.  But it showed my poop-holding-in-all-day-long child that sometimes you can't hold poop in all day long!  After a few dirty undies & a pile or two on the floor, we have settled on a half cap about 4-5 times a week & seem to have found a good balance.  Our nightly fights of making said child poop before bed have ended.  And the last week has brought about his first ever events of potty pooping on his own accord.

And, as if by magic, poop-less morning & nap time diapers are starting to become DRY morning & nap time diapers as well.  MiraLAX has also begun the cascade for him of working towards night potty training.

I never knew I could love a bottle of white powder this much.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
A very thankful mother of three.
