Answer:

Oh wow! A solar cooker! I haven't thought about mine in yearsWas a grade school project, still have itYou need a metal material like your aluminum foil, but it won't do you much good if you can't focus the heat into a smaller areaThe foil will collect light and produce heat, yes, but it will also reflect both in a scatter patternYou need to prevent thisTry painting the foil black so that it collects light but doesn't reflect itExperiment with leaving portions of the foil unpainted, tooMy cooker is a half-round (kinda like if you sliced a paper towel tube in half down the length) and has a skewer running the length, so I'd leave a strip of unpainted foil across the back of the tube to focus the light and heatOne more thing, the larger the cooker, the longer it takes to work, IF it works at allThe smaller it is, the more focused the cooking point can beLess surface area to reflect or otherwise lose heatMine worked adequately, but didn't really cook the hotdog, just got it very warm to the touchProbably because it wasn't painted and was a bit largeI don't recall anything more than this little suggestionI don't know what the other students did for their cookersGrade school was about 18 years ago.
Sometimes, it's your child's milk that makes him constipated.otherwise, a slice of papaya fruit works nicely in fighting constipationMy 2 yrold son has never had any problems with constipation ever since I started giving him papaya everyday.
My son is 2 and always constipatedThe doctor recommended MiralaxUse half a capful in 4 oz of juiceIt should work rather quicklyOther than that, avoid bananas, and see if you can get him/her to drink or eat much more fruit.
Actually, you should not use foods with fiberIf you have too much fiber, it can make it worseTry prunes or raisinsThese are good foods for the digestive systemIf these don't work, make him have a potty time where he will sit for about five minutesIf you don't want him to be bored, give him a coloring bookAnd if this doesn't work, go to a doc in the box and see what prescriptions they can give youMake sure it isn't a liquid medicine - they wouldn't take it if it tastes nastyBut overall, just waitIt might be a short phase.
Apple sauce is binding, ask any dr when a child has a stomach virus, apple sauce is part of the BRAT diet, bananas, rice apple sauce and toast, to help clear it upmy son is 2 and a half and recently stopped using Miralax for his severe constipation, he still has trouble now and then, i give him apple juice, i know, apple sauce, apple juice, but there is something in the sauce that's bindingAlso water and vegetables, i also have used clear karo syrup, ask dr 1st! Some kids do get constipated at this age, most is normal, others need medical intervention, like my son; it took 2 weeks to fully clean him out( under the supervision of a specialist)He needs to stay hydrated, will he sit on a potty? sitting helps them get it outMake sure his stomach doesn't get hard, or he's screaming in painA sign of too much back up is, less eating, and he seems miserable and 'dry' looking, my son dehydrated because his liquids were being absorbed by 2, even though drssaid he looked fine and was peeing, he was so dehydrated, he lost 6 lbs, all because the medical community insisted he would go and recoveri would call his dr ans get his advicewarm soapy baths sometimes help tooI would only use miralax if a week ha passed wo anything and if his dr gives the okayMiralax works fast, and can sometimes create diarrhea, depending on the severity, 1 cap a day should be fine until he is cleaned out, if this is a regular occurrence as w my son then I would try miralax once a weekmy sons constipation started at 13 mos until recently at 2 and a halfOnce a week of miralax worked good for him His stools w miralax should be softer and easier to pass, also a pudding texture sometimes is a result also, watch for too loose stools, which creates dehydrationMake sure he drinks plenty of liquidsi would still talk to his Dr.
