Everyone's favourite... Constipation

I know I've already asked before but does anyone have any ideas on baby constipation? Baby is asleep on me like this but keeps grunting almost like he's constipated then wakes himself up upset before sleeping again but won't settle in his cot at all.

Travelling before being fully vaccinated?

We are planning a family trip in November to Tunisia. My baby will be 8 months old and will still not have MMR vaccine. Has anyone traveled to Tunisia or anywhere else with their baby who has not yet received this? Is it dangerous?

I was waiting for them to get in touch but should ...

Is there anything I can do to help 7week old poop?

7 week old (BF) hasn’t pooped in almost a week now (I think 5 days). His farts are toxic 🤢, and he’s clearly getting uncomfortable. I’ve tried the usual bicycle legs & tummy massage, is there anything else I can do to help him?

Around the time my LO turned 8 months he started hating the bath. He has always loved water and playing with bubbles but now cries from the time he gets in the bath to the time he gets out of the bath.
