Summarize the following:
If dietary changes and movement don’t relieve your baby’s constipation, schedule an appointment with her pediatrician. The doctor can diagnose the problem and offer alternative dietary or medical treatments.  Sometimes your baby's doctor may prescribe medications such as MiraLAX or Lactulose for constipation. These medications bring fluid into the colon to make the stools softer and easier to pass. Provide your doctor any relevant information necessary to diagnose and treat the problem. Let him know about dietary changes and what measures you’ve taken to relieve your baby’s constipation. Ask any questions you may have about your baby’s constipation, treating it, and preventing future bouts. If your baby hasn’t pooped in a few days, try a glycerin suppository. Inserting one in your baby’s anus may help quickly relieve constipation. Be aware that glycerin suppositories are only meant for occasional use.  Get the suppository at your local pharmacy. These are available without a prescription. You can also get liquid glycerin, which you can drop into your baby’s rectum.  Make sure you are using the right type and size for your baby's age. Insert the suppository as far into your baby’s rectum as you are able. Hold the baby’s buttocks together for a few minutes while the suppository dissolves. Make sure to talk to and comfort your baby so that she doesn’t get scared when you’re inserting the suppository or holding her buttocks together. There is conflicting information about using anything other than glycerin suppositories to relieve infant constipation. Talk to your doctor about whether other medical constipation relievers are okay for your baby before using them. Some doctors may suggest giving your baby corn or Karo syrup to relieve constipation. This product has a similar effect to eating fruits or fruit juices. Try giving your baby 1–2 tablespoons of either corn or Karo syrup every day to relieve constipation. Flax oil may help relieve your baby’s constipation. In addition, it can facilitate the absorption of vitamins and nutrients your baby may be losing as a result of the constipation. Give infants one teaspoon of flax oil every day for constipation.

summary: Talk to your doctor. Insert a glycerin supplement. Be cautious with mineral oil, stimulant laxatives, and enemas. Spoon-feed corn or Karo syrup. Use flax to ease intestines.

No matter if your book is fiction or non-fiction, the title is one of the most important elements of your book. It’s often the first thing people see. The title may be what makes them pick up the book and buy it. Having an intriguing title can make a huge difference—for you and your potential readers. A good title will:  Predict content Catch the potential reader’s interest Reflect the tone of the book Contain keywords that search engines can easily access. As you are working on the book, it’s likely that potential titles will pop into your mind. Write these down on a designated piece of paper or in a notebook for when you return to brainstorming your final title.  Avoid thinking that any potential title is stupid. You may find that once you’ve finished composing and editing your piece that exactly what you thought was ridiculous fits perfectly. Refer to this list as you formulate your final title. Remember that most titles are not fully formed and need work, so this list can be an incredibly important resource as you proceed. Friends and colleagues can often be great resources for devising titles. Discuss your different title options with them and see if they can offer any great suggestions or advice. Consider inviting friends and colleagues over for a “title writing” party. Though it may sound corny, it can be fun and may be much more productive than working alone or with one person. As you get closer to the final version of your book and title, decide on several potential titles. Be aware that if you’re working with an editor, she may change it or you may end up either finding similar titles or decide you don’t like a choice.

summary: Recognize the importance of the right title. Keep a list of potential titles. Recruit help. Reserve several titles.

This is usually between 125º—200ºF (50º—90ºC). A higher temperature risks scorching the outside and not drying the inside. To make chips, slice the bananas into 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) rounds. To make wedges, cut the banana lengthwise, then lengthwise again, and slice into desired length.  NOTE: Wedges can take up to 12 hours to dry! Start preparing them in the morning so you don't risk starting a fire overnight. Chips dry much more quickly. For extra crispy chips, slice the bananas into 1/8 inch rounds instead (0.3 cm). This may be easier with a mandoline. If the bananas are mushy and difficult to slice, chill them in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to firm them up.  You don't even need a knife to make wedges! Work your finger into the end of the peeled banana and it should divide into three segments. It doesn't matter if the banana breaks in the process. You'll want it in smaller lengths anyway. For a large quantity of bananas, soaking them in lemon juice for several minutes before slicing will save you preparation time, but the additional moisture will add time to the baking stage. This will add flavor and vitamins, but the main purpose is to prevent the bananas from turning brown.  If you don't mind brown chips, you can skip this step. Brushing the juice onto both sides of the bananas will also work. Pineapple juice, lime juice, or any other acidic juice will work instead. You can even use vitamin C tablets crushed in water. If you don't like the flavor of the juice, dilute it in a 1:4 ratio with water and soak the bananas for 3-5 minutes. This raised wire platform exposes every side of the banana to the air and allows excess moisture to drip through. Also ready a cookie sheet or baking pan to place beneath it.  The bananas should be in a single layer, not stacked atop each other. It's fine if their edges are touching. If you don't have a wire rack, cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray it with a nonstick cooking spray. This method will be less effective at removing moisture and could take many hours longer (especially for wedges). You can mitigate this by leaving the oven door a few inches ajar to allow moisture to escape.  An electric fan kept next to the open oven door will also help air circulate. A sprinkling of sea salt or kosher salt adds a great savory flavor, perfect for eating on their own. Use the center rack of the oven and be careful not to drop any slices onto the oven floor. If using a wire rack, place the baking sheet in the oven first to catch drips, then place the rack on top of the baking sheet. For chips, this will take 1 to 3 hours. Wedges will take 6 to 12 hours. The longer you bake them, the crispier they will be.  Flip the bananas over once about halfway through the baking process. This will dry each side evenly and is especially important if the bananas are placed directly on a baking sheet. The bananas will become crispier as they cool, so remove them when they're still a little softer than you would like. They won't be completely dry or crunchy until they're cooled to room temperature. If you don't have a wire rack, a dish-drying rack can work instead. An ordinary plate will still do in a pinch. If completely dried, they should stay good for months.
summary: Preheat your oven to the lowest temperature setting. Peel and slice the bananas. Dip the pieces in lemon juice. Place the bananas on a wire rack. Add additional flavor if desired. Place the bananas in the preheated oven. Let them bake according to shape and desired crispiness. Cool the bananas completely on a wire rack. Store the bananas in an airtight container.
