Although I won’t get my lactulose from GP until Monday now is there any tips what I can do to help make him go as well before then ?

First time mum question!

Would you recommend a baby bath that goes in the normal bath or one that can be used inside or outside of the normal bath?? The angelcare baby bath seems popular but I’m worried that we will always have to crouch over the normal bath and this will become uncomfortable?
