How I Finally Got My Daughter to Start Pooping Regularly

I am NOT getting paid to write this post and I did not get the product I’m talking about for free. This post is about my own trial and errors to help you figure out what to give your kiddo who struggles with having bowel movements.

My daughter has had struggles with constipation since she was a baby, so I have to assume it is just the way she is built. 

The doctor always told me to give my daughter Miralax and that would solve her constipation issues. In my own experience, this did not solve anything. It was simply a short term solution to a never ending problem. And to add on to that, I would NOT recommend giving your child Miralax at all and especially not long term. There is some scary research out there about Miralax and children and it is not as safe as it was thought to be. 

Anyway…

I tried so many different probiotics for her and nothing seemed to do the trick. The probiotics we tried would either give her stomach pain or just not work altogether. 

I also tried changing her diet, specifically giving her smoothies with spinach and flax seed. This may have worked but she wouldn’t ever drink the whole thing. It is very difficult to get a small child to drink an entire smoothie! Although, maybe it wouldn’t be hard for some children to finish. My sweet girl eats and drinks like a bird and gets full so easily!

When I started giving my daughter L’il Critters Probiotic with Prebiotic Fiber it was life changing. We finally found something to help my girl have a comfortable BM. 

I know some moms are iffy on gummy vitamins because of sugar content and artificial dyes. Well, I am also that mom and I already did my homework on that so you don’t have to! These vitamins only have 1 gram of sugar and no artificial dyes. 

I am no doctor but I believe the reason these vitamins work is because it has a probiotic and prebiotic. I have done a lot of research on this and the prebiotic fiber is what is missing from so many children’s probiotics and that is what your child needs to be able to have a softer stool.

Like I previously said, I am not getting paid to write this I just want to help you help your little one be regular and comfortable! We spent a lot of money finding the perfect product and this has been the perfect product for us. 

Have you used a probiotic for your child and loved it? I would love to hear from you! Let me know what you have used! If you started using L’il Critters and love it, I’d love to know that too! Comment below!
