Q: Feed the baby and give it a fresh diaper before you leave. This will maximize the odds of your infant being in a pleasant (or sleepy) mood for the birthday party. Avoid placing your baby in the center of a large, busy, noisy gathering. Too much talking and noise can overstimulate an infant, which may be upsetting and may lead to difficulty winding down and sleeping later. If your infant is very young, it’s important to avoid unnecessary germs. Children, especially, have notoriously dirty hands; try not to let them hold or touch your baby. If you have to, you can make up excuses. If there are people who you’d rather did not touch your baby, you can tell them that your baby is nervous or sleepy, or simply say that you’re trying to minimize the risk of your infant getting sick. If your spouse or partner is with you, take turns holding your baby so that the other person can relax and enjoy the birthday party. Otherwise, a friend or relative can serve this purpose. It’s best to isolate yourself in some quiet corner of the party when it’s time to feed your infant. Otherwise, your baby might be too distracted or overstimulated to eat well. Babies tend to sleep a lot, so if you are at a party for more than an hour or two, you will probably need to find a place to let yours nap. Possibilities include:  Sleeping in a sling. This has the advantage of keeping your baby next to you and works well as long as the noise of the party does not keep your baby awake. Sleeping in a stroller. If you brought the stroller, this works as well. Sleeping in a quiet room. If the party is indoors, you can ask the host whether you can leave your baby to nap in an unused room. Assuming the baby isn’t mobile yet, you can place him or her on a towel in the middle of a large bed, covered by a blanket. Check on your baby often. If your baby gets too fussy, it’s best for everyone – you, your baby, and the other party guests – for you to leave. Even if your baby seems content, you should not stay out much past his or her usual bedtime, as this will disrupt the sleep schedule considerably.
A: Take care of your baby’s basic needs before you go. Keep your distance from large crowds. Avoid letting everyone hold your baby. Enlist help. Feed your baby in a quiet corner. Find a place for your infant to sleep. Know when to call it quits.

Q: A Ziploc bag is perfect if you can find one large enough; add extra padding by sealing a Ziploc bag most of the way, inserting a drinking straw into the gap, blowing air into the bag, then quickly sealing the bag shut to keep the extra air inside. Plastic newspaper delivery sleeves are also the right size for many books. Put the book in the bag, fold over the top of the bag, and seal it with packing tape. Otherwise, wrap the book in a grocery store produce bag or other plastic bag and tape the edges closed. Cut two pieces of plain cardboard that are slightly larger than the book. Sandwich the book between them to protect the cover. Use plain cardboard rectangles, as cardboard with print or stickers may stick to the book or transfer print onto the cover. Wrap brown paper, newspaper, or wrapping paper around the plastic and cardboard protectors, then tape it in place. This secures the cardboard in place and helps keep the book clean.
A: Wrap the books in plastic to protect them from water damage. Sandwich the books in cardboard to keep them from getting bent. Wrap your books in paper.

Q: To install a new operating system on Windows, you must have the operating system's install tool on a DVD or flash drive, and the disk or flash drive must be inserted into your computer. If you don't have a version of the operating system you want to download, you can download one for the following operating systems:  Windows 10 Windows 8 Windows 7 Press and hold your computer's Power button to turn it off, wait for a few seconds, and then press the Power button again to turn the computer back on. Once the startup screen appears, you'll have a very limited window in which you can press the setup key. It's best to start pressing the setup key as soon as the computer begins to restart. The key you're prompted to press might also be different; if so, use that key instead. This will load your computer's BIOS page, from which point you can select your installation disk or drive.  You'll typically use the "F" keys to access the BIOS. These are at the top of your keyboard, though you may have to locate and hold the Fn key while pressing the proper "F" key. You can look at your computer model's manual or online support page to confirm your computer's BIOS key. This section is normally on the main page of the BIOS, though you may need to use the arrow keys to navigate over to the "Boot" or "Advanced" tab. The "Boot Order" section varies from BIOS to BIOS. If you can't find your BIOS' "Boot Order" page, consult your motherboard's manual or look up your computer model online to find direct instruction for your specific BIOS page. In this case, you'll be starting your computer either from the disk drive or from an external drive, such as a flash drive. The disk drive option is usually labeled CD-ROM Drive, while external drives will show up as Removable Devices. Typically, you'll press the + key with the boot location you want to use selected until it's at the top of the "Boot Order" list. You can double-check the key that you're supposed to use in the legend that's usually on the right side or the bottom of the BIOS page. There should be a "Save and Exit" key listed in the BIOS' key legend; press the key listed there to save your settings and exit the BIOS. You may have to confirm this decision by pressing ↵ Enter with Yes selected. Once your computer begins to start up again, it will select your disk or flash drive as the boot location, which means that it will begin installing the operating system. Each operating system will have different steps to take when installing it, so just follow the on-screen directions to complete the installation.
A:
Insert the installation disk or flash drive. Restart your computer. Wait for the computer's first startup screen to appear. Press and hold Del or F2 to enter the BIOS page. Locate the "Boot Order" section. Select the location from which you want to start your computer. Move your selected location to the top of the list. Save your settings and exit the BIOS. Restart your computer. Follow the on-screen prompts.
