If you give birth, hold your baby against your skin immediately. This will help awaken the nursing instinct, and your baby should begin to breastfeed within the hour. If you have induced lactation, do the same, but have some formula or donated milk on hand to supplement what you have. If you wait too long to start nursing, it can lower your milk supply. Breastfeed 8-12 times a day for the first several weeks. This means breastfeeding every 2-3 hours, including several times at night. Doing it less may lower your milk supply.  Don't skip sessions. If your baby is sleeping or needs to be bottle-fed, pump at the time you would normally be nursing. Don't wait for your breasts to refill. You should still have milk even when your breasts are not swollen. There are many ways to signal to your body that you would like to nurse. It may be enough to hold your baby against your bare skin.  Apply a warm compress or towel soaked in warm water to your breast. Stroke your breast lightly with your fingertips. This will relax you and can stimulate your milk-ejection reflex. You may also massage your breast much in the way you would conduct a self-exam. Press your fingers flatly and firmly against your milk glands and milk ducts. Massage them in slow, firm circles. Massage from the outside in a spiral towards the areola. Lean forward and lightly jiggle your breasts. Gravity should help draw milk into your nipples. After your baby has nursed energetically on one side and has slowed down, switch them to the other breast. Your milk supply will decrease if your baby strongly favors one breast over the other. Your baby's latch will be stronger if they learn how to suckle your nipple before they learn how to suckle a pacifier. If you would like to give your child a pacifier, wait 3-4 weeks after birth.  The stronger your baby's latch, the more milk you will produce.

One-sentence summary -- Start breastfeeding as soon as you have your baby. Breastfeed your baby 8-12 times a day. Stimulate your milk-ejection reflex. Nurse on both sides. Wait before introducing a pacifier.


Make sure the pogo stick is facing outwards. Put the pogo stick vertical and place one foot on the foot rest. Hold on to the handle bars and put your other foot on the pogo stick. Try not to put all your weight on one foot as you get on or you might fall over.   Place both hand on the handlebars and grip firmly. Push down with one foot HARD on one of the foot bars. So you don’t lose you balance, immediately start jumping on the pogo stick when you get both feet on. Jump towards the pedals, not away from you. Keep your arms on the handle bars and use them to stay steady and keep your balance. Keep the pogo stick close to you, don’t push it forward. You will have trouble bouncing and you might break your stick.   Try just doing one or two bounces at first then get off. This will give you the feel for the pogo stick.  As you push one foot down, bring the other foot onto the other foot bar. Now that you have both feet on the feet bar, hold on tight. To hop, push down with your legs by crouching down, and hop up by pulling gently but quickly up on the handlebars while standing up completely. Do this motion several times, and you will be hopping. Just bring your bottom down near the floor, and jerk up on the handlebars. Don’t jump too high. If you jump high you could lose control of the pogo stick and fall.  Only jump high enough to be bouncing up and down slightly off the ground. If you start to fall over in one direction, lean your body away from how you are falling. Don’t lean too hard or you might fall over in that direction or you could start going in circles.

One-sentence summary -- Get on the pogo stick. Start jumping. Lean in the opposite direction of the way you tip.

If you will be outside on warm days and doing something that requires physical exertion, be sure to drink plenty of water and sports drinks to stay hydrated. This can help prevent heatstroke before it starts. Try drinking a quart of water per hour. If you need to work outside, work in the early morning hours or the later afternoon hours. This is when temperatures are cooler, and cooler temperatures reduce the risk of heatstroke. Everyone reacts to heat differently, but physical exertion should be avoided at temperatures over 90°F (32°C). Excess, tight fitting clothing makes it difficult for the body to cool itself and increases the risk of heatstroke. Likewise, dark clothing will heat up the body and increase the risk of heatstroke. By dressing properly while you are active outdoors you can help prevent heatstroke before it starts. You should also apply sunscreen to any exposed skin to help protect yourself from sunburn.
