INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Bottle-fed infants suck a lot more air during a feed than infants eating from a breast, so it's important to burp them frequently during a feed. Burping them throughout the feed makes them more comfortable and more likely to finish their bottle. Try to burp your baby at least after every 23floz (5989mL) of milk or formula they drink, or more frequently if they seem squirmy, fussy, or otherwise uncomfortable. To burp your newborn, hold them with their head high up and resting over your shoulder, supporting their head the whole time. Holding them this high places slight pressure on their tummy and eases the air out through a burp. To help your baby's burp come out, put some pressure on their back by patting or rubbing it. Your baby will be calmed by the repetitive patting or rubbing, and more likely to burp. If your baby hasn't finished their bottle, you can try feeding them again after about 2 minutes of trying to burp them whether they actually burp or not. If they are not interested in eating more but seem fussy, you can try burping them again or check to see if they need a diaper change. If they seem content but uninterested in eating, they are probably full and have finished eating for this feed.

SUMMARY: Set the bottle down and try to burp every 23floz (5989mL) of consumed milk. Drape your baby over your shoulder. Firmly pat or rub their back. Resume feeding after a couple minutes even if your baby doesn't burp.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your girlfriend doesn't want to play fight anymore or she seems upset, you need to stop. She may stop making eye contact, her energy and enthusiasm will go away, and she may even start to cry if she gets upset enough. These are definite cues that the play fighting has gone too far. Even if you went too far accidentally, you need to apologize and ask her if there's anything you can do to make her feel better. A clear boundary that you need to always respect is your girlfriend telling you "stop" or "no." Even if you were already play fighting and having fun, if she wants to stop, you need to stop. You want her to feel save with you when you're play fighting, especially if you're bigger and stronger than her. She may giggle and say stop when you're play fighting or tickling her, but if she clearly asks you to stop and isn't having fun, stop immediately. It's possible the play fighting triggered past trauma that she's experienced, so be sensitive to her cues and listen to her. In order to prevent play fighting going too far or somebody getting physically or emotionally hurt, don't start up or participate in play fighting if you're angry. Additionally, if your girlfriend is angry don't try to get her to play fight with you and don't participate in any fighting if she tries to initiate it. If you don't feel in the mood for play fighting but your girlfriend is, try setting your negative feelings aside and have a good time with her. Play fighting is supposed to be fun. If you or your girlfriend are upset, take some time to cool off. If you or your girlfriend are angry, play fighting is not the solution. Try talking or going out for a bite to eat instead.

SUMMARY: Recognize when isn't having fun play fighting. Stop if she tells you to stop. Don't play fight if you or your girlfriend are angry.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Ticks live outdoors and are very small. Unlike other bugs, they don't just bite and leave. They embed themselves into the skin and continue to feed off their human host. They like small, hairy areas like: the scalp, behind the ear, in the armpit or groin, between fingers and toes. When checking for ticks, start in these areas, but check your whole body just to be sure. The tick must be removed from its human host. The person who has been bitten will likely need assistance from another person, especially if the tick is someplace hard to reach. Do not touch the tick with bare hands. Yes, you should keep the tick temporarily. Because ticks can carry diseases like Lyme disease, you may wish to have the tick tested if you show signs of Lyme disease, or even if you don't. If it tests positive for anything, you may need additional medical treatment. Place the tick in a plastic baggie or small container (e.g. empty pill bottle, etc.). If the tick is still alive, store it in the fridge for up to 10 days. If the tick is dead, store it in the freezer for up to 10 days. If you aren't able to submit the tick within 10 days, throw it out. Even frozen or refrigerated ticks won't be viable for testing after 10 days. If the tick is embedded deep in the skin, or someone was only able to remove a portion of the tick, you'll need to go to the doctor and have it removed. You should also go to your doctor if you have any of the symptoms of Lyme disease. Use soap and water to wash the area of the tick bite. Apply some type of antiseptic to the area to disinfect the bite. You can use rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer, etc. Make sure to wash your hands after you've completed this step. Testing is usually done by your local public health authority. Check with your heath department to see if testing is available in your area. The public health lab will start by checking what type of tick it is, as only some carry diseases. If the tick is of concern, they may then perform tests, or send it to a national lab for further tests. If you live in Canada in a province that does not have a provincial lab that tests ticks, you can submit the tick directly to the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) for testing. Follow the instructions on the Government of Canada website to submit a tick to the NML. If you live in the United States, each state's public health department will have a procedure on how to submit a tick for testing. Check your state's public health website for detailed instructions. If you show signs of infection but are still waiting on the results of the tick test, do not delay treatment, and remember that false negatives are possible, or you may even have been bitten by another tick and not be aware.

SUMMARY:
Look for ticks. Remove the tick. Save the tick. Go to the doctor. Wash the area of the tick bite. Submit the tick for testing.
