(1) Has anyone heard of a couple of children's board books about Belinda and Benjamin? "The sun is shining, it's a very nice day, Belinda and Benjamin (or possibly Benjy) are coming out to play."

(2) Calling all mothers! An infant we know was prescribed antibiotics a couple of months ago, had raging diarrhoea for four days, and since then has been excruciatingly constipated. She has plenty of fibre, water and fruit in her diet - I've seen her diet, this is definitely true - and the poor love screams like a banshee at its own funeral every time she fills her nappy. It's heartrending. Even Linnea stops what she's doing and looks worried, and she's a pretty hard-hearted little brute when she's not asking for cuddles. So any tips would be great. The infant in question has a mother who has no idea what to try, and the family doctor is all out of suggestions.

Here's a pretty good website about treating constipation in infants and toddlers. Scroll down to the treatment section for age-appropriate remedies. http://www.parentbytes.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=article&catID=1&ArticleID=47
