In general, unwrapping your baby suddenly and completely doesn't work well; your baby may feel uncomfortable and struggle to sleep. If you have a very active baby who has been wriggling out of the swaddle independently, you can try this method. Otherwise, a more gradual approach is probably best. If you do choose to unswaddle your baby "cold turkey," try it at nap time first. That way, if it doesn't work out, you won't sacrifice much sleep. Many babies accept unswaddled sleeping more readily if you start gradually. Try leaving his or her hands and armed swaddled as usual, but unwrap the legs. You can use special swaddling products for this purpose, or you can improvise with blankets, cloth diapers, and the like. Alternatively, you can start by unswaddling your baby's hands and arms, while leaving the legs wrapped as usual. For best results, leave just one hand free at first, then move on to both hands. As your baby accepts each stage of unswaddling, move forward until he or she is sleeping with no swaddling whatsoever. If your baby struggles to sleep, wakes frequently, or seems upset, do not move forward. Wait until he or she can accept the first stage (an unwrapped arm or unwrapped legs) before unswaddling further. If your baby really loves swaddling, it might help to start by unswaddling only during naptime or only for the first few hours of nighttime sleep (say, until he or she wakes to breastfeed). Gradually increase the time spent unswaddled. If your baby is struggling to fall asleep without being swaddled, try gently holding his or her hands against the chest. This may soothe your baby and let him or her fall asleep. There are a number of products on the market, shaped like sleeping bags, to help babies stay warm and calm without tight swaddling. If your baby seems comfortable in one of these, use it! You can gradually unclip the sleeping bag to ease your baby into the feeling of freedom. In addition to the bags, there are also swaddling straps available that keep older babies comfortably swaddled. If your baby is struggling to sleep without his or her usual swaddling, you could consider using one of these products temporarily. If your baby wakes and cries more easily when he or she is not swaddled, try using other soothing techniques. For example, consider: singing a lullaby playing soothing music wearing your baby in a sling and walking around rocking your baby Soothe your baby as needed, but as soon as he or she is calm, put your baby back in the crib to go back to sleep. Every baby is different, and yours may take some time to accept these new sleeping arrangements.

Start by baking your cake. Bake the cake in a rectangular pan. You will use the rectangular cake for the base of your Peppa Pig cake. The base cake can be any flavor you want. Chocolate, yellow, and white cakes make good basic cakes that go well with icing. You can bake a cake from scratch or from a box. This is entirely up to you. Make sure to let the cake completely cool before continuing. To cut your cake into the shape of Peppa Pig, you need to make a stencil. Cut the paper stencil out and place it on top of the cake. This will be used to shape the cake. There are two ways you can make a stencil: If you have access to a printer, search the internet to find a Peppa Pig coloring template. There are many available that are large pictures of the character on a white background. Make sure the picture you print out is large enough to fit most of the cake. If you can't print out a stencil, take a plain sheet of paper and trace the picture of Peppa Pig from your computer screen. Or, if you can hand draw, draw the outline of Peppa as you look at the image on the computer screen. You can make a cake from any character from Peppa Pig, including George Pig and Mr. Dinosaur. Use a sharp knife to gently cut the cake around your paper stencil. Try to get the edges as close to the stencil as possible, but it doesn't have to be perfect. You will place icing around the edges. Use toothpicks to secure the stencil if it won't stay. You can cut Peppa's ears separately from the extra cake you cut away if you are having trouble cutting around the ears at the top.

Use the horsehair brush that comes with many shoe cleaning kits, or another soft-bristled brush. Alternatively, you can use a piece of clean, soft, lint-free cloth, like a strip of an old t-shirt. The more often you do this basic surface cleaning e.g., every time you take the shoes off the easier it and the rest of the cleaning process will be. Save your old t-shirts for shoe cleaning and polishing. They'll come in handy often. Remove the laces from the shoes before continuing; they'll just get in the way. Lightly moisten another clean cloth and work in a small amount of either saddle soap or leather shoe cleaner. Rub the shoe firmly but not aggressively. For stains caused by road salt, try applying a two-to-one mix of water and white vinegar with a clean cloth. Lightly dampen the leather; don't saturate it with the solution. If you have caked-on, clumpy layers of old polish to contend with, try adding a bit of nail polish remover (acetone) to cotton balls and wiping gently. This should remove the old polish. Give the shoes a bit of time to dry fully if you used any liquids in the cleaning process, then apply your chosen product to make the leather more soft and supple. You can use a leather conditioner, saddle soap, or an oil renovator (like mink oil), all of which can be found alongside other shoe repair products. Follow the product instructions for application, but remember that a little goes a long way no matter what you're using. the shoes. Choose either a wax or cream polish, or even start with a layer of cream followed later by wax. Shoe cleaning kits include a brush meant for polishing, but a strip of old t-shirt fabric works quite well also. Apply a small amount of polish to the brush or cloth, and work it onto the shoe with a circular motion. It's better to add small amounts of polish multiple times than to glop on too much at once, so take your time. After you've finished applying a coat of polish, buff the shoes using a clean cloth and the same circular motion. Buffing evens out the wax, helps work it into the leather, and removes excess. If you want to add one or more additional layers of polish, let the shoes dry for a short while between rounds, and always buff after polishing. If your goal is a mirror-like sheen on your shoes, polish and buff at least twice apiece. Then, after the shoes dry a little, sprinkle a few drops of water on them and buff them with the cloth used to apply the polish. Keep repeating this process (with brief drying intervals) to further enhance the shine. If possible, let the shoes dry overnight, then give them one final buff with a dry cloth.
