Q: As a rule, most babies should stay out of the public for their first two months of life. This should be extended when it comes to flu season. During flu season, the more your baby is at home, the lower their chance of catching the flu. Stay away from places with lots of people like the mall, grocery stores, or entertainment venues. If possible, keep your child home from daycare if a lot of children in your area have the flu. Only take your child out in public if necessary. Regardless of who it is, you should forbid sick people from coming into contact with your infant unless absolutely necessary. By establishing a "no sick" policy, you'll help protect your infant from catching the flu. Ultimately, while you might alienate a few people, you'll safeguard your baby's health. Stay 6 feet (1.8 m) away from people who are sick or displaying flu symptoms By using a sling or confining your baby to a carrier, you'll shield and protect them from germs and from people who may try to touch them. This is important, as many people like to touch the hands, face, and feet of infants. If your baby confined, they won't be able to get close enough to do so.
A: Limit your infant's contact with people during flu season. Keep sick people away from your infant. Use a sling or baby carrier in public places.

Q: Rather than overburdening your digestive system with a large meal, eat smaller meals throughout the day to help speed your digestion. Aim for 4-5 evenly spaced small meals throughout the day. Try to eat every 3 hours to prevent excessive hunger. Foods that are highly processed are more difficult for your body to digest. Instead, choose whole foods that are not full of preservatives, additives, and other chemicals. Eat fruits, vegetables, brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, beans, nuts, seeds, and other whole foods throughout the day to ease the digestive process and help make it more efficient. Chewing starts the engine of the digestive train, but is often under-emphasized. Proper chewing multiplies the surface area of the food particles many times and allows your enzymes to access more of the food you have put into your body. Exposing huge surface areas of food to your saliva is a great start in achieving smooth, efficient digestion.
A: Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day. Choose whole foods over processed foods. Chew your food well.

Q: You can either use a microwave-safe bowl or create a double boiler. Stir the chocolate to make sure everything is melted evenly. Prick them in the center, just enough to pick them up from the parchment paper and hold. If you're wanting to present the cake balls on a stick, it's recommended to use lollipop sticks, which can be found in specialty baking aisles. Dip about 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) of the stick into the melted chocolate prior to inserting them into the cake balls. If you're wanting to present the cake balls in decorative individual wrappers, poke them with toothpicks. While holding the lollipop stick or toothpick, submerge the cake ball into the melted chocolate. When lifting it back up, gently lift them in a swirling motion or give them a gentle shake. If you are using toothpicks, remove them from the balls. Add a very small amount of extra melted chocolate to cover the holes. You can use the back of a spoon to evenly spread out any extra coating as well. Place the chocolate covered cake ball in the same place on the waxed paper. Pick up the next one and repeat the dipping until everything is covered.
A: Melt the chocolate. Insert sticks into the cake balls. Dip the cake balls. Repeat with the rest.

Q: 1 balloon Duct tape Cake plate A medium-small box (size of a cake) Icing (make sure it's thick and opaque) Sprinkles Friend who likes cake Real cake to say you're sorry (optional) You can use any type of box for this, but something the size of a medium-small cake (roughly 9 inches by 9 inches) would be perfect. You'll also want to make sure that the sides are high enough to hold in an inflated balloon. A huge sheet-cake-sized box could also work but isn't ideal, as it would just require more balloons and more icing. Inflate a balloon large enough that it fills the box as much as possible without distorting the sides of the box. Once the balloon is in the box, use some duct tape to secure it there 1 strip of tape vertically and 1 horizontally should be fine, but you can use more if you think you need to. You can also use painting tape or electrical tape if you don't have duct tape. Just don't use Scotch tape, as this will be too thin and not sticky enough to properly hold in the balloon. You want to use enough tape that the balloon sits firmly in the box and doesn't move around when you touch it. You'll want to do this before you begin icing the "cake" so that you don't make a mess on your counter also, it will be easier to transport once it's iced. Use a spatula to cover the balloon and box with icing. You want to cover the entire thing so that it looks like a cake. Make sure the icing is thick and opaque you don't wan it to be runny or see-through, or it'll be easier to tell what's underneath it. Do whatever else you want to do to make the cake look extra tasty and alluring. You might even write your friend's name on it with icing. Your friend will probably be pretty excited to get a cake. If it's not their birthday, you'll need to find some other convincing reason for offering them cake. For example, if you're having a movie night, you could say that you were bored at home and felt like making some cake. If you do this, you can't push them to eat it otherwise they might know something's up. You'll have to wait for them to want the cake and cut it. If your friend is excited about the cake, he/she will probably want it right away. Make sure he/she's the one to cut it, but don't act too obvious about wanting them too. You can just hand them the knife and say you'll get plates. If your friend doesn't seem to want the cake, you can ask them to cut you a slice, but this might be more obvious. If they go into the kitchen to get themselves a drink, you could say, "Hey do you mind cutting me a piece of that cake?" and then act like you're busy on your phone. When your friend cuts the cake, he/she'll likely scream when it pops loudly. This is when you laugh, and hopefully he/she will laugh too. Getting a balloon cake isn't as funny as giving one. If you give someone a balloon cake, make it up to them by giving them a real one afterwards. At the very least, give them a cupcake!
A:
Gather your materials: Cut the top off a box. Inflate a balloon. Place the balloon in the box and tape it in. Place the balloon-box on a cake plate. Ice the balloon and box. Add sprinkles and any other decorations. Give the cake to your friend. Have them cut the cake. Laugh hysterically. Apologize and give them a real cake (optional but recommended).
