Q: A typical newborn requires 10 to 12 changes per day, and older infants and toddlers often need 8 to 10 changes. If you're switching to cloth from disposable diapers, count your average daily diapers used over several days. You won't need more than three days' worth of diapers, because by that point your diaper pail will be overflowing with dirty diapers waiting for a wash. Expect to wash diapers every other day. Never leave dirty diapers unwashed for more than three days. While it's a noble goal to completely eliminate the use of disposables, they are nice to have around in certain cases. For instance, you may unavoidably fall behind on your diaper washing and need a quick, clean option. Or, you may need to use a babysitter or daycare center that's more comfortable with (or requires) disposables. You may think you'll need to use disposables when you're away from home (for instance, when out shopping), but it's really not any more difficult to use cloth diapers when on the road. Just make sure to bring along a dirty diaper storage bag that seals securely (you can purchase these alongside cloth diapering supplies). Don't get grossed out by the thought of using another baby's old diapers. Look at it like using secondhand baby clothes — if they're clean and in good shape, they're perfectly safe and fine to use. If, however, they're heavily stained, torn or frayed, or any of the snaps or other closure mechanisms are worn or damaged, don't use them. Play it safe and wash the diapers yourself before using them. Just as with disposables, most reusable diapers come in different sizes based on the baby's age and weight. Use age as a general guideline, but focus primarily on the weight category in order to get the best fit for your child. Regular leaks are a good sign that the diapers you're using are either too big or too small. Some cloth brands offer a "one-size" diaper that will fit from right after the newborn stage until potty training. These can save you money (because they'll fit longer), but may not necessarily provide the same level of fit and leak protection. Try one out and see how it works for you. These include diaper covers, extra inserts, diaper liners, “snappis” or pins, cloth diaper-safe rash cream, and a pail or bucket with a lid to store the dirty diapers. Keep in mind the two-to-three day diaper supply plan. This means you don't need a box full of diaper pins or a giant pail that could hold a week's worth of diapers. Some parents use them for burp cloths, bibs, and changing pads, among many possibilities. Or, lend, give, sell, or donate them so someone else can become a cloth diaper convert!
A: Buy enough diapers to last 2 or 3 days. Purchase some disposable diapers to supplement your reusables. Seek out secondhand cloth diapers. Pay attention to sizing. Buy necessary accessories. Consider repurposing cloth diapers after your baby's done with them.

Article: If you’re tempted to pick at trouble spots on your face, conceal them with bits of medical tape. Each time you attempt to pick you will be reminded that this behavior is off-limits. Wearing makeup over your facial skin serves a dual purpose: it covers imperfections so that you are less likely to obsess over them and it acts as a barrier to prevent picking. If you spend extra time in the morning applying makeup, you won’t want to smudge it by picking at your face, right? Ask your dermatologist for a makeup recommendation that reduces acne and helps clear skin. If you spend a lot of time in front of mirrors, try to decrease your mirror time. Time yourself in front of the mirrors--if you know you only have 5 or 10 minutes, you won't be able to linger on that blemish.  Put away or cover the mirrors in your home so that you only use them when you are getting dressed or doing a beauty routine. Get rid of magnifying mirrors that only serve to enhance your imperfections and make you feel worse about your appearance. The next time you get the urge to pick your face, tell yourself you must wait 10 minutes. Set a timer on your phone. When the time elapses, see if the urge is still there.  More than likely, the urge will have passed. If not, challenge yourself to wait a little bit longer before picking. Try to increase the amount of time between picking. You may notice yourself becoming better at dealing with the urge, or you may find healthier replacement activities to do instead of picking.

Q: It takes different kinds of courage to ask out someone you are interested in, to speak to your boss about a raise, or to confront a bully. One thing all of these scenarios will require is a show of confidence, whatever you actually feel. Confidence and courage come through acting as if you are unafraid, even (and especially) when you are. When you ask someone out, the best way is to be direct, even if it is scary to put yourself out there. Practice what you're going to say ahead of time. If you can, talk to her in private. Think about how great it might be if she says yes; isn't that worth the risk? Remember, if she says no, it isn't a reflection on you or your desirability. Be respectful of her decision and be proud of yourself for being courageous! It can be scary to talk to your supervisor, especially if it's about problems you're having at work; it's also awkward to have conversations about money. However, if you frame it more as a conversation than a confrontation, you may be more likely to get your way.  Ask to speak to her privately and plan out what you're going to say ahead of time. It's okay to feel nervous, don't fight it. Make sure to breathe normally and speak with conviction. If the conversation backfires, step back and re-assess. If you think about it and feel that you were in the right, consider getting your human resources department involved. Alternatively, sometimes the better thing to do is change jobs; some people are very stubborn and choosing not to fight every battle doesn't mean that you lack courage. When you're confronting a bully, remember to act as if you're feeling brave and confident. You'll trick yourself (and her) into thinking you aren't afraid. Bullies thrive on your emotional response, so don't give them the pleasure of a reaction. Act confident in yourself (even if you don't feel particularly confident). If the bullying gets work in the aftermath of your confrontation, get help from a teacher or parent. Knowing when to get outside help is courageous in itself. It shows that you are being honest with yourself about the reality of the situation.
A:
Build your courage for specific scenarios. Have courage when you ask someone out. Display courage when you speak up to your boss. Show courage when you confront a bully.
