Article: As soon as the seasonal flu vaccine is made available, you and other caregivers should visit your doctor and get vaccinated. By being vaccinated, you'll protect yourself from being infected. As a result, your chance of infecting your infant will be much lower. Without a flu vaccine, you and your family will be much more vulnerable. Everyone who lives in your home or visits your home or infant should be vaccinated. You can get a flu vaccine from your doctor, through your work, or even at a neighborhood pharmacy. Flu vaccines are usually available starting in September. You can even get vaccinated while you are pregnant, so speak to your doctor about obtaining a flu shot. Typically, infants six months or older can get a flu vaccine. Getting the flu vaccine may dramatically lower their risk of catching the flu. However, infants younger than six months cannot get a vaccine. Talk to your doctor about whether a vaccine is appropriate for your child. Breastfeeding helps transfer a mother's antibodies to her baby. As a result, breastfeeding can potentially bolster your infant's immune system so they can better resist or fight off the flu. If you can't breastfeed, talk to your child's pediatrician about steps you can take to build your child's immunity to things like the flu virus. While you should always provide your baby with proper nutrition, it is even more important during flu season. Good nutrition will bolster your infant's immune system. In the end, they'll be able to resist or fight off the flu a lot more effectively. Most commercially produced formula provides the nutrition infants need. If you breastfeed, produce your own formula, or feed your baby solids, make sure your infant is receiving enough vitamin A, C, D, E, and B as well as calcium, iron, and zinc. Talk to your pediatrician if you are unsure if your baby is getting their nutritional needs met. It's important to clean and disinfect your home on a regular basis to eliminate germs that cause the flu. Choose a disinfectant formulated especially for killing cold and flu viruses, such as a spray or disposable wipes. Clean hard surfaces, like countertops, tables, faucets, light switches, and remote controls with the disinfectant. Wash blankets, towels, stuffed animals and other soft surfaces in hot water with non-chlorine bleach to rid those items of germs. Purchase alcohol-based hand sanitizer. After you've touched a door handle or something else in a public area, use it. In addition, use it again before you touch your infant as well as your phone or other gadgets that you use often.

Article: Save the rest of your milk for the very end. If the recipe you are using calls for dry ingredients, such as flax seed and oatmeal, pour them in now. If you cooked your oatmeal the night before, you can add it in at this point as well. If you wish to add a little protein to your smoothie, you can add in one tablespoon of peanut butter. If you do not like peanut butter or are allergic to it, but still want a sweet-tasting smoothie, opt for 1 tablespoon of honey instead. Do not worry if the fruit is not evenly-sliced. It will get all blended together. The frozen fruit will not only help thicken your smoothie, but keep it cool as well. Take the remaining milk, and pour it over the fruit. Put the lid onto the blender, and turn the blender on. Start at a low speed, then progress to a higher speed. If the ingredients are clumping up on the sides of the blender, they probably aren't blending properly. Simply stop the blender and open the lid. Stir the ingredients inside with a spatula, making sure to knock any clumps of fruit off the sides of the mixing container. Replace the lid and turn the blender back on. Once everything has blended, stop the blender, take off the lid, and pour everything into a tall glass. You can use a spatula to help guide everything into the cup. Be sure to scrape any smoothie off the sides of the mixing container so that nothing goes to waste.

Article: Kindness makes the person doing it and the person receiving it happy. People want to be around people who are habitually kind. Treat everyone with respect and do little things to help out people who you can see are struggling with something. You'd be surprised at the impact even the smallest of gestures can have. You shouldn't look down on your friends and you shouldn't treat them like royalty either. People don't like it when other people think they are better than them. At the same time, most people get uncomfortable when it's clear that someone has low self-esteem in comparison to them. At the end of the day, we're all just people. Try to remember this at all times. If this is something you continually struggle with, put an effort into thinking about what you are going to say and how people might see it. It shouldn't like you're trying to be mean to your friend to yourself. If you monitor yourself carefully, your habits will naturally change in time. It's not a secret people like to laugh. Make jokes when it's appropriate. It's ok to tease someone, but don't say anything that is genuinely mean-spirited. You'll be happier finding the humor in the little things and people will want to spend more time with you. Don't worry if you aren't a natural comedian. A good way to be funny is to surround yourself with people, media, and things that make you laugh. Watch comedies and listen to comedians. Take some time to relax each day if you have a stressful schedule. It won't happen overnight, but soon you'll be more comfortable doing things and cracking jokes that make people laugh. There's no point in trying to be a different person because you think someone will like you more that way. Unless they're not terribly perceptive, they'll be able to see straight through your act. No one wants to hang out with posers. Being yourself will attract friends who like you for you, not for what you're trying to be. Being your genuine self means being open, honest, and sincere about who you are. It also means keeping your word and being trustworthy. Practice being genuine with yourself and others. This will help you build your relationships with others, as well as your self-confidence.
