I’ve just started he disimpaction process with my five year old this evening. 4 sachets of movicol.

Any tips for the weekend or things it might be useful for me to know? Thank you 😊

Hi there. I’m just about to start the process with my 4 year old for the second time in a few months. My advice to you is stay at home if you can and if you are brave enough to venture out, take a lot of pull ups, wipes and changes of clothes. We went through a whole pack of pull ups in one day! Hope it all goes ok!

Thank you for sharing, I hope it goes well for you. We've just completed day 6 and no brown water yet so will introduce the stimulant at the end of tomorrow. Was the maintenance dosage not enough for your little one?
