Q: It is important to protect the royal jelly from light, so transfer the jelly from your collection container to a dark glass container right away. Use a pipette or small spatula to do this. Screw the lid shut tightly. This will help to prolong the shelf life of the jelly. Use freezer safe vials and leave about 0.5in (1.3cm) of space at the top of the vial if you plan to freeze the royal jelly. This will ensure that there is some extra space for the jelly to expand during the freezing process. After you have transferred the jelly to dark glass containers, place them into a refrigerator between 0 to 5C (32 to 41F). This will protect the royal jelly from spoiling for up to 18 months. Storing royal jelly at 17C (1F) or lower will prolong the shelf life even longer. If you want to ensure that your royal jelly will be viable for up to 24 months, then put the vials into a freezer to store them. Make sure that you purchase freezer-safe vials if you want to freeze the royal jelly. After the royal jelly has thawed, it should be stored in a refrigerator for no more than 12 months.
A: Transfer the royal jelly into dark glass vials. Refrigerate the jelly for up to 18 months. Freeze jelly for up to 24 months.

Q: A typical newborn requires 10 to 12 changes per day, and older infants and toddlers often need 8 to 10 changes. If you're switching to cloth from disposable diapers, count your average daily diapers used over several days. You won't need more than three days' worth of diapers, because by that point your diaper pail will be overflowing with dirty diapers waiting for a wash. Expect to wash diapers every other day. Never leave dirty diapers unwashed for more than three days. While it's a noble goal to completely eliminate the use of disposables, they are nice to have around in certain cases. For instance, you may unavoidably fall behind on your diaper washing and need a quick, clean option. Or, you may need to use a babysitter or daycare center that's more comfortable with (or requires) disposables. You may think you'll need to use disposables when you're away from home (for instance, when out shopping), but it's really not any more difficult to use cloth diapers when on the road. Just make sure to bring along a dirty diaper storage bag that seals securely (you can purchase these alongside cloth diapering supplies). Don't get grossed out by the thought of using another baby's old diapers. Look at it like using secondhand baby clothes if they're clean and in good shape, they're perfectly safe and fine to use. If, however, they're heavily stained, torn or frayed, or any of the snaps or other closure mechanisms are worn or damaged, don't use them. Play it safe and wash the diapers yourself before using them. Just as with disposables, most reusable diapers come in different sizes based on the baby's age and weight. Use age as a general guideline, but focus primarily on the weight category in order to get the best fit for your child. Regular leaks are a good sign that the diapers you're using are either too big or too small. Some cloth brands offer a "one-size" diaper that will fit from right after the newborn stage until potty training. These can save you money (because they'll fit longer), but may not necessarily provide the same level of fit and leak protection. Try one out and see how it works for you. These include diaper covers, extra inserts, diaper liners, "snappis" or pins, cloth diaper-safe rash cream, and a pail or bucket with a lid to store the dirty diapers. Keep in mind the two-to-three day diaper supply plan. This means you don't need a box full of diaper pins or a giant pail that could hold a week's worth of diapers. Some parents use them for burp cloths, bibs, and changing pads, among many possibilities. Or, lend, give, sell, or donate them so someone else can become a cloth diaper convert!
A: Buy enough diapers to last 2 or 3 days. Purchase some disposable diapers to supplement your reusables. Seek out secondhand cloth diapers. Pay attention to sizing. Buy necessary accessories. Consider repurposing cloth diapers after your baby's done with them.

Q: If you experience pain and burning in your upper stomach or chest area, you might be suffering from heartburn. Try taking an over-the-counter antacid about an hour before eating. Avoid taking an antacid with a meal. Use any medication according to the label's instructions. Talk to your doctor before taking an antacid regularly if you have kidney or heart disease, are on a low-sodium diet, or take any prescription medications. Simethicone is a foaming agent found in brand medications such as Alka-Seltzer, Gas-X, and Mylanta. These medications might be your best option if you experience bloating or gas pains in the middle of your stomach area. However, they don't have any effect on intestinal gas, or pain and bloating in your lower abdomen. Take a medication that contains simethicone 2 to 4 times a day after meals and at bedtime, or according to the label's instructions. There are several types of enzymatic medicines that can relieve intestinal gas by helping you digest sugars more easily. Medications that contain the enzyme alpha-galactosidase, such as the brand Beano, help your body process gas-causing beans, fruits, and vegetables. If dairy products give you trouble, try taking a digestive aid that contains lactase, such as Lactaid. Most enzyme digestive aids should be added to food just before you take the first bite. Follow the directions on your product's label if you use a digestive aid. Heat can break down enzymes, so only add digestive aids after food is finished cooking. A typical dose is 2 to 4 tablets with a full glass of water about an hour before eating and again after a meal. While there's mixed evidence about its effectiveness, activated charcoal might help relieve intestinal gas, or bloating in your lower abdomen. Consult your doctor before using activated charcoal if you take any prescription medications. Activated charcoal can affect how your body absorbs medicines. See your doctor if you can't manage persistent stomach problems with nonprescription medications and dietary changes. Tell them about your symptoms, diet, and bathroom habits. Depending on your specific issues, they might recommend a prescription-strength antacid, simethicone product, or laxative. Talking about digestive issues and bathroom habits can feel embarrassing. Remember that your doctor is there to help you. Being honest will help them come up with the best treatment plan.
A: Take an antacid for heartburn pain in your upper abdomen. Choose a foaming agent for stomach gas. Go with an enzyme medication for intestinal or lower belly gas. Try taking activated charcoal pills for intestinal gas. Discuss prescription medications with your doctor.

Q: When you ready to use it, measure out cup (96 grams) of the mixture, and stir it into 2 cups (475 milliliters) of milk. Cook it over high heat in a saucepan, stirring constantly. When it begins to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Once it thickens, pour it into a serving bowl, and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. You can serve it hot or chilled.
A:
Keep the instant pudding mixture in a cool, dry place.
