Do I Lie to my boyfriend about vaccines?

My bf is anti vax and I’m for it ,my first son has had all of his. If I get them vaccinated we will break up but if I don’t it’s against my moral code and dangerous for the them imo. We are the perfect couple and I feel like we’re genuinely made for each other but this one thing we can’t agree on!

How many vaccines did your baby get at their 1 year check up? And what kind were they? Did they also draw their blood? We have our appointment tomorrow, and I just want to be prepared.

Constipation Relief

Mamas, please recommend me what works for your little one who screams when then poop. I’m in tears every time my little guy poops because he cries so hard. I’ve tried prune juice, prune apple juice, apple juice, prune puree, pear puree, and nothing has worked so far 😭 he just turned 1 on April 11th!

10 Week old pooing all the time

My 10 week old Lb is literally pooing so little and often. I’m changing maybe 20+ dirty nappies a day. He’s not struggling to go and he’s not showing any signs of actually being unwell so that’s good but it’s got watery bits in that soak into the nappy. Has anyone else had this? It’s constant 😩

Constipation

My baby is 2 months and 2 weeks old and hasn’t pooped for about 29 hours. We gave him apple juice (as directed by nurse) but still nothing. We bicycled his legs but also still nothing. Anyone have any tips or tricks? He is still passing gas but I can tell he’s frustrated and wants to poop.. :(
