Constipation

We have a very healthy diet which includes veggies and fruits. We rarely have any processed foods but baby was all of a sudden constipated for 4 days last week. Before baby used to go at least once a day. Any recommendations? She ended up having some prune pouch. Should I start including it in the diet?

Bath Filter Recommendations

Does anyone have any recommendations for a bath filter (the ones that hang for the water to run through) for their little one? Our son has started to get dry skin and a bit of a rash and we think it's because our water has changed recently and maybe is a bit chemical-y for his skin
