Brief Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the query. It depends on weight of your kid but generally childrrn- 1.5 to 3 years take 2 to 3 teaspoons once a day. You can mix it in 4 to 8 ounces of water, juice or flavored drink. If miralax wont be helpful too, then you should consult your doctor about further diagnostic and therapeutic protocols.Wish you good health. Regards

Detailed Answer:
No. If there is no measuring device(spoon) that comes with product, then you can mix one capful of MiraLAX powder in 8 ounces of clear fluid and give to your baby 4 ounces of it- twice a day.
