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: Protein powder can be extracted from a variety of foods, including dairy products, egg whites, and vegan alternatives. This is why different brands of protein powder can have such significantly different flavors. Before spending your money on a powder that might turn your stomach, spend some time surfing the web for information. Many health, exercise, and bodybuilding forums have threads where users discuss their favorite and least favorite protein powders. If you're on the hunt for a better tasting powder, don't invest in a giant tub of it. Buy the smallest container you can find. If you don't like it, you can either discard it or power through until you run out hopefully quickly! The problem may be that you can't stand the taste of unflavored protein powder. Luckily, many brands sell products that are already flavored with chocolate, vanilla, and cinnamon. You can even find wilder flavors like cookies and cream! If these flavors don't work for you on their own, try mixing them together. Half a scoop of cinnamon with half a scoop of chocolate may be your new favorite flavor. Protein powders are marketed to health-conscious people, so most of them don't have sugar or corn syrup in them. In fact, they often advertise that they have no added flavors or sweeteners. Sugar always helps mask the taste of the powder, though, no matter what you mix it with. Look for the few brands that do include some kind of sweetening agent. Keep in mind that added sugar should be limited throughout the day and will add extra calories to your protein powder.
A: Read online reviews for different brands and flavors. Test different protein powders in small amounts. Test out flavored protein powders. Look for powders with sugar or artificial sweetener.

Q: You will need one cup of epsom salt, one cup of baking soda, two tablespoons of liquid glycerin, and essential oils. Adding dried herbs or flowers can also add extra scent and beauty to your bath salts. Start by mixing the epsom salt and baking soda together. Then, add the liquid glycerin and combine well. Use as much scented oil as you would like, but make sure that you thoroughly mix it with all of the ingredients. Pour all of the bath salt mixture into a container with a lid, and store it between uses. Add a few tablespoons to hot bathwater and enjoy the skin-softening effects!
A: Measure your ingredients. Mix the ingredients. Store the finished product.

Q: The oxygen sensors are small metal pieces attached to wires that connect into the sides of the exhaust pipe. Place a wrench around the bolt connecting the sensor to the pipe and rotate it counterclockwise until it's loose. Pull the oxygen sensor straight out from the pipe before unplugging it from the wires connecting to your vehicle. Your vehicle will usually have 12 oxygen sensors connected to the exhaust, but it may vary between make and model. Vehicles only have oxygen sensors if they have a catalytic converter. If your vehicle is from 1974 or prior, then the exhaust may not have oxygen sensors. Lie on a rolling creeper trolley to move around under your vehicle more easily. You can buy a creeper trolley from an automotive supply store. Wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty as well as disposable gloves so you don't get too greasy. Penetrating fluid works between the bolt and nut threadings to add lubrication and make it easier to unscrew the system. Point the spout of the penetrating fluid directly at the nuts connecting the exhaust pipe to the downpipe attached to your engine. Make sure to coat all of the threadings evenly to make the job easier. You can buy penetrating fluid from your local hardware or automotive care store. If you don't have any penetrating fluid, it may be difficult to remove your exhaust system on your own. If your exhaust system is made up of multiple pieces, then look for bolts where the pieces connect to one another. Spray those with your penetrating fluid as well so you can remove each of the pieces separately. Start where your exhaust pipe connects to the engine at the front of your vehicle. Choose a ratchet bit that matches the size of the nuts holding the exhaust system to your vehicle. Place the end of the ratchet over the nut you're loosening and turn it counterclockwise. Apply firm pressure as you rotate the nut since it may be stuck or locked in tightly. Continue unscrewing the rest of the nuts if the pieces of your exhaust system are held together by other bolts or clamps. Use a ratchet with a long handle so you can get more leverage while you're disconnecting the old exhaust system. Look near the top of the pipe along its entire length to find the metal pins that extend up and into rubber rings on your vehicle's body. Support the exhaust pipe with your nondominant hand as you slide the metal pin out from the rubber. Slowly and carefully take the other pins off so the exhaust system comes loose from the body of your vehicle. If you have trouble pulling the metal pins off of the rings, try lubricating them with soapy water to help them slide out more easily. Don't let the exhaust pipe drop since it could be heavy and it may hurt you or damage other components under your vehicle. Slowly take the exhaust system from the catalytic converter to the tailpipe and lower it to the ground. Carefully remove the system out from underneath the vehicle so it's out of the way while you're working. You can either throw the old exhaust system away or you can try to sell the parts if they're in usable condition. Do not drive your vehicle while you have the exhaust system removed since it may be illegal in your area and you will release harmful fumes.
A:
Disconnect the oxygen sensors from underneath your vehicle. Spray the nuts along the exhaust pipe with penetrating fluid. Unscrew the nuts with a ratchet. Unhook the pipes from the rubber exhaust hangers. Pull the exhaust system down from your vehicle.
