Breastfeeding mothers should take a Vitamin D supplement containing 600 IU of Vitamin D. If your prenatal vitamin already contains Vitamin D at this level, you can continue taking that supplement. In this case, you do not need extra Vitamin D.  Continue to take a multivitamin while breastfeeding. You may be advised to take calcium supplements as well. The recommended amount is 1,000 milligrams (mg) per day. Although you might feel pressure to lose your pregnancy weight, it is unwise to drop pounds too quickly while breastfeeding. In fact, depending on your weight gain during pregnancy, you might need to add 400 – 500 calories/day while breastfeeding. Ask your doctor to be sure. Breastfeeding burns calories and can burn fat that your body stored during pregnancy. A weight loss of 2 lbs. (approximately 1 kg) per week while breastfeeding is healthy.  Calorie needs are typically between 2,200 and 2,800 kcal per day, but this depends on your weight and physical activity. dieting can reduce breastmilk volume and effect your ability to nurse your growing baby. Waiting until your six week postpartum check-up to lose any weight is advisable. You will need all your energy for your baby in those first weeks. While breastfeeding, it is important to stay fit and active as well. Although strenuous exercise like marathon training is not right yet, doing pelvic floor exercises can help your body heal.

Q: Pastel colors show up nicely on white shoes and give nice muted tones. On the other hand, strong, bright colors also work well and will probably show up better from a distance. The choice is up to you! Remember that the color on the dye packaging may not be exactly the same color that ends up on your shoes. With home dying you need to be prepared for a little variation and fun surprises when it comes to coloring. Many craft stores and online sellers have dyes for fabrics, so look around. Read the packaging on dyes you are considering buying in order to judge whether you want to put in the work to use them. Some dyes are more complicated to apply than other ones.  You will also need other supplies. These can include: plastic sheeting (to protect surfaces), latex gloves (to protect your hands), and rubber cement (or another product to protect the soles of your shoes from the dye). In addition, you may want to use a paint brush to paint on detailed designs and you will probably want to have paper towels on hand to clean up any little spills. Rubber cement can usually be found at any supermarket or office supply store. If you already have some shoes that you want to dye that is just great. However, if you need to buy some, pick out white canvas shoes. It doesn't matter whether they are laces-ups or slip-ons, whichever you like. The most important part is that they are white, so that they can be dyed easily.  Cotton canvas in particular is a great fabric to dye because it will absorb and hold dye really well. That is because, in general, natural fibers are easier to dye than synthetic fibers.  If you have never dyed anything before, and you don't want to spend a lot of money on this project, consider getting the cheapest sneakers or slip-ons you can find. They may not be as comfortable to wear as more expensive shoes but their inexpensiveness will keep you from getting really upset if you mess up the dying process.
A: Decide what color (or colors) to use. Buy your dye and other supplies. Buy white canvas shoes to dye.

Article: Cut open an avocado vertically and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh out into a small mixing bowl and use a fork or spoon to mash it up so it becomes one consistency. The skin of an avocado is really thin, so be careful when you're cutting into it that you don't accidentally slice your hand. Measure out the avocado oil and whisk together the mixture until the two ingredients are completely combined. If needed, use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl as you mix. You could also add 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of honey or a few drops of essential oils to your face mask. Start with a clean face, so if you were wearing makeup or just got back from the gym, give your face a quick wash and pat it dry. Then, scoop up the mask with your fingers and spread it all over. Make sure to get your forehead, nose, chin, cheeks, and around the sides of your eyes. If you want to, you could even put the mask on your upper neck. Set a timer and relax while your mask does its work. Watch a TV show, take a bath, or listen to some of your favorite music. After the 10 to 15 minutes have passed, wipe away the mask with a warm, damp washcloth. Make sure to get any remnants left on your hairline or around your ears.

Problem: Article: The best time to speak with someone about their behavior is when you are both stress-free, in good moods and not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to find the time for a conversation when you are both at your absolute best. Still, you should try to initiate the conversation during a time when you think your friend will be more receptive. For instance, avoid talking while you are out drinking with each other. Also, try not to talk to your friend when they've had a particularly rough day or are overly stressed about something, if possible. Talking to your friend after they exhibit the behavior in question has more of an impact than waiting a substantial amount of time to point out their actions. They may forget what happened, or may not feel as emotionally attached to it if they have time to get over what occurred. As soon as you can, confront them about the situation.   If you feel like your friend's risky behavior is potentially life-threatening and may be putting them or others into harm's way, don't wait to confront them. For example, if you're sure that your friend has been driving while intoxicated, talk to them about it immediately. If you are unable to address the behavior when it happens, keep a log of your friend's behavior. Write down the day and time the behavior occurred, and what your friend did. Having solid evidence in front of them may make them take your concern more seriously. As important as it is to point out the issue right away, it's also important not to sugarcoat it. You may try to minimize what's happening so you don't offend your friend, but downplaying risky behavior could lead to negative consequences. Be straightforward and honest with your friend about what happened.  Try saying, “I watched the way you behaved last night and it really concerned me. Do you know why you behaved in that way?”  Don't say, "You were wild last night!" since this could be misconstrued as approval rather than concern. Also, Avoid accusing your friend of anything and focus on what concerned you. Part of the benefit of planning your approach is the opportunity to conduct some research. If you don't take the time to research and brainstorm ways your friend can receive help with the behavior, the meeting won't have as much of an impact. Your friend may want to come up with solutions together with you, and that's fine, but you'll want to have some of the work already completed before you hold the meeting.  If you're afraid your friend is addicted to drugs or alcohol, look into treatment options and support groups that may help. If you believe the behavior is due to a medical condition, talk to health care professionals about what can be done.
Summary: Talk to your friend when you are both clear-minded. Speak with your friend about the risky behavior soon after it happens. Be honest when you share your concerns. Research possible solutions prior to speaking to your friend.
