Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Listen to the infant during feedings. Check that the baby is latched on correctly if you are breastfeeding. Tilt the bottle to 45 degrees when bottle-feeding. Check the hole in the bottle's nipple when bottle-feeding.

Answer: If you hear gulping noises, the baby may be eating too quickly and swallowing air. Swallowing excess air can cause an infant's stomach to distend, leading to hiccups. Take frequent breaks to slow the feeding session. The infant's lips should cover the areola, not just the nipple. An insecure latch can cause the baby to swallow air. This allows air in the bottle to rise to the bottom and away from the nipple. You may also want to consider using collapsible bag inserts for the bottle that are designed to reduce air swallowing. If the hole is too big, the formula will flow too quickly, and if it is too small your baby will grow frustrated and gulp air. If the hole is the proper size, a few drops should come out when you tip the bottle.

Answer: Keep your puppy still by placing it in your lap. Then, place your left forearm securely over your puppy's body. Firmly, but gently, grasp your puppy's jaw with your left hand. With your left thumb, pin its earflap to the top of its head.  Praise your puppy with a soothing "Good boy (or girl)" while petting it to keep it calm. Throughout the process, reward your puppy with treats for good behavior. Before cleaning your puppy’s ears, check the hair on the top of the earflap, as well as the hair under the earflap. Dirty or matted hair should be removed from the outside of the ear, as well as near the ear canal.  Heavy, matted, or moist hair surrounding the ear can obstruct airflow to the ear canal, which can lead to an infection. Excess, dirty, or matted hair inside the ear canal should be removed by a veterinarian. Once the hair is groomed around your puppy’s ears, fold your puppy’s ear back. Dampen a cotton ball or a piece of gauze with mineral oil and hydrogen peroxide. Do not use alcohol to clean your puppy’s ears. Gently wipe away any debris or earwax you see on the underside of the earflap. Make sure to lift debris and earwax up and away from the ear canal. Do not rub it into the ear canal.  Do not use cotton-tipped applicators, i.e., Q-tips, to clean your puppy’s ears. These applicators will push dirt and debris deeper into your puppy’s ear. Be careful not to insert anything into your puppy’s ear canal. This can cause ear damage, or lead to an infection.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Measure the area around the broken window pane. Purchase a new pane of glass. If the frame is made out of wood, use a painter's brush to apply a layer of wood sealer around the broken window frame. Apply putty or a glazing compound around the frame. Push your new pane of glass into the empty opening. Reinsert any nails or clips that you removed earlier. Apply putty or glazing compound around the new window. Smooth the putty out and let it dry.

Answer: Use a tape measure to get the length and width of the window frame. Measuring the area will help you determine how big your new piece of glass should be. Subtract 1⁄8 inch (0.32 cm) from the measurement. The additional space will ensure that the glass will fit in the window and won't crack if the frame expands during cold weather. Go to a hardware or glass store with your measurements and buy a new piece of glass. They will cut your glass to your specifications. Let the sealer dry for one or two hours before moving onto the next step. Wood sealer will help the putty or glazing compound adhere to the wood and will help with weather-proofing your windows. This will help hold your new pane of glass in place. If you're using putty, roll it in your hands to warm it up, then apply it to the interior of the frame. If you're using a glazing compound, squeeze a tube of the compound onto the frame, around the empty hole. If your compound came in a container, use a putty knife to apply it.  Don't worry about laying too much putty or compound because you'll be scraping the excess away later. You can purchase putty or a glazing compound from the hardware store or online. Take your new piece of glass and carefully press it into the opening. The glass should press against the putty and adhere to it. Replace the clips or nails that you removed earlier by lightly tapping them back into the frame. This will help your pane of glass stay in place. Apply a layer of putty or compound around the edges of the new pane of glass. This will ensure that it's held in place with the putty on both sides of the window and will hold your new glass in place. Use a putty knife to smooth out the compound around the new window pane. Remove any excess putty or compound so that it runs flush with the frame and looks clean. Allow the putty to dry overnight so that it sets. Remember to smooth the putty on both sides of the window.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use oral irrigators. Avoid eating sweets. Brush after meals. Eliminate acidic foods and drinks.

Answer:
Dental professionals recommend oral irrigation as a great way to really clean teeth and gums. Brushing and flossing will not get under the gums where the bacteria have set up housekeeping. Oral irrigators get what tooth brushes and floss don’t, so plaque and tartar never come back.  Oral irrigators flood the mouth with a jet of water under pressure to flush offending food particles and bacteria from the mouth. They can remove any debris leftover after brushing. They also give you a good gum massage, which improves blood circulation and prevents inflammation. Oral irrigators, such as Oral Breeze or WaterPik can now be found that attach to your shower-head or your bathroom sink faucet and are very easy to use. Oral irrigators should never be used as a replacement for flossing. If your diet is heavy on sweet sodas, candy, and other sources of sugar, try cutting back on these foods to decrease the buildup of plaque on your teeth. Even fruit juices have enough sugar to cause plaque to grow, and starchy foods like pizza create the same problem. When you do eat or drink sugar, follow it with a glass of water. Swish the water around in your mouth before swallowing to clean off the sugar. Consider brushing your teeth after a sugar or starch heavy meal, even if it means brushing three times a day instead of two. Carry a toothbrush in your car, office or bag so you can use it each time you feel a film start to form on your teeth.  Be aware that brushing your teeth immediately after meals can potentially help to erode the natural enamel on your teeth, so make sure you only do this after eating meals that will contribute to bacteria buildup. There are some foods that have high acid contents. These acids wear away the enamel of your teeth and promote the growth of bacteria, putting you at higher risk of forming gingivitis. Some foods and drinks that are high in acid are:  Citrus juices and fruits Alcohol with a high phosphorus content Certain types of meats, like corned beef or turkey Some cheeses, like parmesan, are also high in acid content
