Problem: Article: Breastfeeding mothers should take a Vitamin D supplement containing 600 IU of Vitamin D. If your prenatal vitamin already contains Vitamin D at this level, you can continue taking that supplement. In this case, you do not need extra Vitamin D. Continue to take a multivitamin while breastfeeding. You may be advised to take calcium supplements as well. The recommended amount is 1,000 milligrams (mg) per day. Although you might feel pressure to lose your pregnancy weight, it is unwise to drop pounds too quickly while breastfeeding. In fact, depending on your weight gain during pregnancy, you might need to add 400 500 calories/day while breastfeeding. Ask your doctor to be sure. Breastfeeding burns calories and can burn fat that your body stored during pregnancy. A weight loss of 2 lbs. (approximately 1 kg) per week while breastfeeding is healthy. Calorie needs are typically between 2,200 and 2,800 kcal per day, but this depends on your weight and physical activity. dieting can reduce breastmilk volume and effect your ability to nurse your growing baby. Waiting until your six week postpartum check-up to lose any weight is advisable. You will need all your energy for your baby in those first weeks. While breastfeeding, it is important to stay fit and active as well. Although strenuous exercise like marathon training is not right yet, doing pelvic floor exercises can help your body heal. These exercises tone your vagina. See Do Pelvic Floor Exercises for specific instructions. Avoid swimming until you have not had vaginal bleeding or discharge for one week.
Summary: Take supplements. Do not binge diet. Exercise.

Problem: Article: A dull or rusty razor can keep you from getting a clean shave, whether it's by snagging hairs instead of cutting them, or irritating the skin around the follicle. Shaving every day can irritate new bumps, so try to wait and only use a razor every second day. If you can, shaving every third day is even better. Exfoliation will clear off any dead skin cells or other material on your skin, paving the way for a close and clean shave. You can use an exfoliating scrub, loofah, mitt, skincare brush, or whatever works best for you. If your skin is sensitive, consider exfoliating on your "off" day from shaving. If your skin handles exfoliation with minimal irritation, try doing it right before you shave. Applying pressure can make the razor uneven on your skin. Instead, aim to hold it lightly and "glide" it over your bikini area. If you missed too much to overlook, make the second pass with the grain, instead of against it. Shaving against the grain means to move the razor in the direction opposite of hair growth. For instance, most people are shaving against the grain when they run a razor from their ankle to their knee. Shaving with the grain creates less irritation, but not as close a shave. Try to use this technique as much as you can if you're going back over an area you've already shaved. The steam from a warm shower serves two purposes: it makes the hair softer, and your skin less prone to nicks and irritation. If you usually shave first, consider reorganizing your shower tasks so that you do it last. Try to give it five minutes before you start shaving. If you don't have time to shower, wet a washcloth with water that's as warm as you can stand, and lay it over the area you're going to shave. Try to leave it for two or three minutes before shaving. Shaving cream can also soften hairs and make them easier to remove (as well as making it easier to track where you've shaved and where you haven't). Find a cream that includes aloe or other moisturizing compounds. If you're in a pinch and have no shaving cream, use hair conditioner instead. It's better than nothing! Ending your shower with a blast of cold water, or using a cold washcloth on the area, will cause your pores to temporarily contract, leaving them less vulnerable to irritants and infection. Contrary to the popular myth, cold water doesn't "close" your pores. The cold temperatures may cause pores to contract slightly, but the effect is only temporary and minimal. There's no harm in rinsing with cold water, but if you find this step notably unpleasant, you should be able to skip it without much consequence. Don't rub yourself dry harshly with a towel. Instead, dry your bikini area in small taps, saving your skin a load of irritation.
Summary: Throw out any dull razors. Shave every other day, at the most. Exfoliate gently. Don't press down on the razor as you're shaving. Try not to go over the same area twice. Shave in the shower. Use shaving cream (or a substitute). Rinse off with cold water. Pat the area dry.

Problem: Article: First thing's firstbefore you get too worried about how to clean a gasoline spill, you'll want keep it from getting any worse. If you've accidentally knocked over a fuel tank or container, return it to an upright position immediately and secure the lid or cap over the opening. If the spill originated from a pump, make sure that it's shut off and that the nozzle has been replaced. Even a small gasoline spill can quickly become dangerous. Try to react as quickly as you can. Always pay attention when you smell gasoline fumes. Strange odors could indicate the presence of a spill, even if you're not aware of it. Be sure to let an attendant know about sizable spills and leaks that occur at filling stations. Assuming the spill is the result of an ongoing leak, it may not be possible to stop it immediately. In this case, look for any sort of large container you can place beneath the leak. This will keep it from coming into contact with other surfaces that are much more difficult to clean. Make sure the container you use won't leak or overflow. If you're at home, grab a bucket, paint roller tray or washtub. To prevent the spill from spreading to a larger area, throw down some object or group of objects that can stop or slow its movement. An obvious choice is a beach towel, but a piece of lumber or a few heavy boxes may also work (keep in mind that whatever you use will likely have to be thrown away). Position the barriers closely around the perimeter of the spill. Be especially vigilant in preventing the spill from reaching electrical equipment or objects that produce or give off heat, such as stoves, space heaters and electrical outlets. Use a plastic tarp to cover and protect objects that are vulnerable to damage. Gasoline emits powerful fumes that can be very harmful to inhale. Open all nearby windows and doors to get air circulating through throughout the room. If the spill occurs somewhere inside with no windows, turn on the ceiling fan or air conditioning. Exposure to fumes may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, shortness of breath or disorientation. Gas fumes are also a severe fire hazard. Avoid doing anything that may lead to an accidental ignition.
Summary:
Stop the spill at the source. Catch gasoline that's actively leaking. Put down a barrier of some kind. Ventilate the affected area.
