Every parent goes through That Phase.The one where your child, no matter what you try, seems to struggle to poo.It's estimated up to one in three children in the UK has constipation.at any one time, thanks to illness, poor diet, fear of using the toilet, and poor toilet training.It comes as no surprise that constipation can make little ones miserable.

Younger children could soon be eligible to receive an updated Covid-19 booster shot.Currently, people too young to receive an updated booster can still be boosted with earlier versions of the Covid-19 vaccines.Pfizer and BioNTech on Monday said they completed their submission to the US Food and Drug Administration for emergency use authorization of their updated Covid-19 booster for children ages 5 through 11.Moderna tweeted that its authorization application for an updated booster for children ages 6 months through 5 years is expected later this year.
