What tends to happen towards the end of disimpaction?

[JLE2018]

Our daughter has been on 8 sachets of Movicol for for the last two days. Today we have been though countless nappies but most of them were absolutely tiny amounts. We were kind of expecting today to be the last day, it’s been leading towards it for the last couple of days. It’s all been rather frustrating though with not much happening and our daughter has found it stressful today, she has been really ok with it up until now. It sounds daft but at the moment it feels like we’re never gonna get there, she’s eating like a horse I don’t see how she’s ever going to stop.

You need to keep going until you have watery stools with no lumps consistently for at least three days before you start to reduce the doses down very slowly, i.e. 8,8,8,7,7,7,6,6,6 and so on until you reach a suitable maintenance dose to remain on that achieves type four stools on the Bristol Stool Chart.
