Yep second the prune juice! It worked a treat

Answer

my son was a very constipated baby. then, when we switched him to cows milk, his poop was white and he always had fissures. we were told to give 1/4 cap of Miralax and it helped! he is now three years old and doesnt have any more problems pooping! he hasnt had the Miralax for 1.5 years now.

Answer

My son stayed constipated. I swear nothing worked until a new pediatrician recommended prune juice diluted with water. We tried the gerber prune apple juice with water. 50/50 the first time and slowly added more juice and less water. He didn't get gassy and started having regular bowel movements after the first few days. We tried for months before we finally found something that worked for him.
You are NOT a failure. Keep your head up momma! I promise you'll get it figured out eventually, be patient with yourself.
