If a little one (say 12 months) is given morphine, are there any side effects to watch out for. Or at least any helpful hints to help their little bodies process it?

Although it is a wonderful thing to be able to use it to deal with pain (thank god) I can't imagine it is great for the system as a whole so would like some advice for a friend to help her LO be in the least amount of discomfort possible.

Am I right in thinking it can cause constipation - therefore using something like metamucil or parachoc might be a good idea??
