12 Month Old Won't Feed Himself

My 12 month old will not pick up food and put it in his mouth. In fact he won't put anything in his mouth except for his pacifier. He will pick food up and play with it but he won't eat it. He just opens his mouth like a little birdie and expects me to feed him. He won't hold his own bottle either. Is this strange?

Tips for Constipated Infant?

Hi Mamas, My 6 week old is gassy and constipated. I have tried everything the pediatrician has asked me to do. Today they tell me to "just keep doing what you are doing" which is not working.
