Witholding Poops

Help! Help!  DD only goes poop when she physically can't hold it in anymore which ends up being every 4-5-6 days.  She is so constipated by then it hurts to go. 

 I give her Miralax with her drinks, but she barely drinks anything.  We do apple juice, but that doesn't seem to help and she won't drink prune juice.

She eats OK, but you can tell she is uncomfortable by the end of day four or so.

Pedi suggests more Miralax and push fluids, but I think it it mostly a mental challenge.  Anyone been there, done that?

She is almost two and not interested in PT.

TIA

My daughter just pt'd April of this year at almost 2 and a half. My husband and I had worked with her before that but she was not interested at all. Then one day she just wanted to go potty on the toilet but when it came to number two she would do the same thing. The only thing that worked for us we're actual prunes. She would eat a few of those and have no problems going. It fianlly got to the point where she didn't like going on herself and she started going on the potty. Now she's a natural and makes sure we knows when we'll be waiting in the bathroom with her longer than usual.

Jasmine liked the Sunsweet pitted prunes. GL!
