Article: This can take some time and needs to be perfectly timed. Once your no contact period is over, you need to consider ways to reconnect with your ex. The best way to do this is case-specific. For example, if you have a lot of mutual friends, then you can attend a party that a mutual friend is throwing. Or, if you feel more comfortable not reestablishing contact in person, you can try texting him to ask something innocent, like the name of a restaurant you both once went to. Keep these conversations short, to the point, and emoji-free. You have to be nice to both of them, so it doesn't seem suspicious that you're talking to your ex again. Avoid reminiscing about your old relationship in the presence of his new girlfriend because that can get awkward and is a dead giveaway that you're still wanting him. Once you reestablished contact with your ex, you can casually begin texting him. How often and how much you can do this depends on how receptive he is. Texting the link to a funny Tumblr or an old inside joke between the two of you shows that you still value what you guys used to have, but it doesn't seem desperate. At this stage, you're actively inserting yourself back into his life, and there could be some objections from his new girlfriend. Do your best to not criticize her in his presence or over texting. Be cool and confident because if he keeps talking to you despite her protests, then that is a great sign that your approach is working. Friends meet for coffee or chat about what new movies are out. Make your short-term goal to have him as a friend. This will help him let his guard down, and will allow you to reestablish the connection that drew you both together in the first place. Was it a mutual love of baseball? The fact that you both hated the math class you took together? Think of this stage as pressing the restart button on your friendship. A good way to stay out of the friend zone is to break the touch barrier. Don't do anything overly obvious, but simply touching his shoulder or reaching across the table for his arm while you're making a point can send the right signals. Once you've carefully built up to winning him back, it's time to let him know how you feel. This is best done in person so that you can see his reactions and hear his voice inflections. Rehearse what you plan to say beforehand so you don't stumble over your words. Try to not be overly emotional. Simply say that you miss what you both had before, you know what you did wrong in the relationship, and you want to give it another shot with him. Let him know that you're aware that while the past won't instantly be erased, you know what mistakes were made and what to avoid. Avoid crying or pleading with him, if he doesn't seem to be on the same page with you. This makes you look desperate, and will likely drive him away completely. At this point, you've reestablished a friendship with him, and that might be all he is ready for right now. Be respectful of his feelings, and don't try to force a romantic relationship if he doesn't seem ready for it. Even though you tried your best, be ready for rejection. Sometimes no matter how hard we try, our exes are not in the same mindframe as us. Keep in mind that he might still be hurting over your break up, or he might truly love his new girlfriend. You know firsthand the pain of a break-up, and if you are successful at winning him back, then he has to break-up with another girl and hurt her feelings. It will show self-confidence and maturity for you to tell him to take some time and be kind to his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend when he breaks the news to her.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Reestablish contact. Be nice to both of them. Text him occasionally, but don't bombard him. Focus on becoming his friend again. Let him know how you feel. Encourage him to take his time.
Article: Many babies get upset when they are in need of a diaper change. The feeling of the dirty or wet diaper against their skin is uncomfortable. Waiting too long to change a baby's diaper can lead to diaper rash, which is very uncomfortable. If you are using disposable diapers, the diaper will begin to sag or appear full. If you are using cloth diapers, feel the outside of the diaper to discern if the diaper is full. Some disposable diapers, like Pampers Swaddlers, have an indication strip that turns blue when the diaper is wet. Check for leaking near the legs or above the top of the diaper. Peek inside the back of the diaper to check for a bowel movement. A baby's nutritional needs change several times in the first two years of their life. Signs you should watch out for in a newborn include smacking their lips, rooting, or sucking on their fists. You can tell if your newborn baby has had enough to eat by their fists. If a newborn's fists are closed and near their face, they have not had enough to eat. If their fists are open and relaxed, they are satisfied. An older baby may try to get into a feeding position or yank on your clothes if you breastfeed. They may become fussy, hit you, or turn their head from side to side. Babies, at any age, become fussy and cranky when they are tired. If they become too tired, they are inconsolable and difficult to put to sleep. You can also look for signs of sleepiness like yawning or eye rubbing. You should always be aware of signs that your baby is sick and not just fussy. If your baby shows signs of illness, you may need to seek medical attention. Take your baby to the doctor if they have a fever over 100.4F (38C) and they are under 3 months or 102F(38.9C) if they are between 3 months and 3 years old. Seek help if your baby will not eat or drink. Look for signs of dehydration like less than 6 diapers per day or crying without producing tears. Make your baby an appointment if they have a cough that lasts more than a couple of days. Seek help immediately if your baby is having trouble breathing. Pulling on ears or a hoarse cry could be signs of a bacterial infection that may need treated with antibiotics. Trust your instincts. If you think something is wrong with your baby it is best to take them to a doctor. The doctor can make sure that there are no underlying issues that are causing your baby's discomfort. Although it's likely that your baby is just experiencing normal crying, it's best to err on the side of caution.
