I'm really worried about my skin tone because it's a bit on the darker side and I'm hoping to make it fairer. Can you give me any tips or home remedies that might help lighten my skin complexion?

Dark colour complexion is equally healthy and natural no need to worry,just use basic skin care routine like moisturizer, sunscreen for maintaining healthy skin.

My baby is 2 months old and he's not pooping regularly. Sometimes it's 4 to 5 days without any bowel movement. The doctor mentioned if it goes past 7 days, we should give him milk of magnesia. It seems like he only poops when we give him the milk of magnesia after about six days. Is it okay to rely on this medicine, or could there be something else going on? I'm getting worried. Any advice?

Its not uncommon for babies, especially breastfed infants, to go for a few days without having a bowel movement. The milk of magnesia your doctor prescribed can help temporarily, but its important not to rely on it for long-term use. Keep monitoring your babys comfort, hydration, and feeding, and follow up with your doctor if the problem persists or if your baby seems to be in discomfort.
