Thanks for some good suggestions! Now I have another question: How on EARTH do you get your children to drink mineral oil and/ or prune juice?!? My 3 yr old daughter will eat pieces of fruit, but doesn't really like much juice of any kind except apple (which, of course, is constipating!) - she's strictly a milk or water kid. I can't imagine trying to get her to take mineral oil!! It's good to know I'm not the only one struggling with this predicament! Thanks again!
