Every child is different, but most babies can be weaned from night feedings when they are at least four to six months old. Also note that your baby should at least be 14 lbs (6.45 kg) before you drop a night feeding. Night feedings generally won't harm your baby, so if you don't see a need to drop them, you can wait until your child naturally initiates the process by sleeping through the night. Your child should eventually grow out of the night feeding phase even if you don't assist him or her, but the process will take longer. If you don't know whether or not your baby is ready to stop night feeding, talk to your child's physician. Even though babies will eventually grow out of the need by themselves, it might be necessary to drop night feedings if your own well-being depends on it. For instance, if you've returned to work and your baby's night feedings are making it impossible for you to get enough sleep, you might need to rearrange feedings so that they only occur during waking hours. No matter what, though, you need to make sure that your baby is physically ready to stop night feedings. Do not drop this part of your baby's eating routine if he or she still needs it for the sake of development. Even babies who don't need to eat in the middle of the night may still wake up during that time. Moreover, they may still expect to be fed, even if they don't actually need it. For this reason, dropping a night feed is mainly a matter of breaking the routine your baby has already grown accustomed to. Keep in mind that breastfed babies typically feed more often than bottle-fed babies. With the former, the weaning process may take longer since the baby will naturally wake up more often. Your baby might be waking up in the middle of the night to eat, but there's also a chance that he or she could be waking up for a different reason. In that case, dropping night feeds can become both difficult and impractical. Periods of external and internal transition can cause your baby to wake up in the middle of the night. For instance, if you've just recently returned to work, moved to a new home, or arrived home after an extended family vacation, the shift in attention and activity could make your baby too anxious to sleep. Major milestones can make it difficult for babies to sleep, too. Babies who have recently learned how to sit up may find it more difficult to settle back down. Babies who are teething may experience pain that keeps them awake.

Summary: Consider your baby's age. Factor in other circumstances. Understand the habit. Learn about other potential causes of night waking.

Hiring an attorney to help you prove adultery in court can be advantageous for a number of reasons, but it can also be a burden. Consider these factors in deciding whether hiring an attorney is the right choice for you: Foregoing the help of an attorney may be advantageous if your spouse has openly admitted to cheating. In this situation, an attorney may only hinder your ability to talk honestly and openly with your spouse about all of the issues needing to be resolved. You should also be aware that if you do not have an attorney, you will be responsible for providing evidence to the court about your spouse's adulterous behavior. If you do not have direct evidence of your spouse's infidelity and if you need help drafting and filing legal papers, then you should consider hiring an attorney. If your spouse is contesting your allegations, there may be a fight during divorce proceedings over children, property, and/or money. If this sounds like the divorce you might be going through, an attorney can help you craft legal arguments to ensure you get the fairest distribution of assets possible. An attorney will also be helpful when you do not have the time or expertise necessary to produce credible evidence. If you decide you would like to hire a lawyer, start by researching possible candidates. Follow the steps here to choose the right one. First, start by asking friends, family, and coworkers for their referrals. A referral can be a great way to obtain a qualified attorney so long as you trust the opinion of the person giving you that referral. If your peers do not know any family law attorneys, look online by using lawyers.com, nolo, or findlaw. All of these websites are great for searching out qualified lawyer candidates. Second, once you have found a list of candidates, you should contact and set up an initial consultation with them. An initial consultation will help you get a feel for the attorney by meeting him or her in person and being able to ask them questions about themselves and about your case. Be prepared to pay a consultation fee. These often range from as low as $50 to as high as $500. Once you have met with your top candidates, you should follow-up with any of them you have more questions for. Once this process is complete, choose the attorney that you are most comfortable with. Look for an attorney with a fair fee, a good track record of handling family law cases, and a good reputation for honesty and integrity. If you find out through your research and discussions that hiring an attorney will be too expensive for you, you can try finding an attorney that will take your case on a pro bono basis (taking on the work without charge). Try contacting your local or state bar association for help finding an attorney free of charge. In addition, there are many legal aid societies and nonprofits that may be able to assist you.

Summary: Decide whether having an attorney is the right choice for you. Research possible attorney candidates. Choose an attorney that is right for you.

Do not blow or pick the nose, especially if the bleeding is decreasing. You can dislodge formed blood clots and bleeding can reoccur. There are certain situations when you need to visit a doctor.
