Does Miralax cause more frequent urination?

HisBetterHalf

I've been giving DD a tsp of Miralax with her morning drink for the past 3 days.  Since then she's started having to pee more often.  Before she'd go like 3-4 times/day.  Today she has already gone 4 times.  She's not been drinking any more than usual either.

i never noticed that, except that I do mix it in juice which causes my kids to pee more.

Hmmm... posting to see responses.  DS takes a 1/4 capful of Miralax a day, but is still in diapers so I'm not sure if he pees more often or not (he has always been a big drinker so he pees a lot to begin with).

I don't think he has, but then again he's been taking miralax since he's been 10 months old.  We are down to a tsp. every other day now so i'll have to pay attention to how often he pees and see.   I don't think it should make them pee more though, it's suppose to just add water to the stool to make it softer.
