Is it okay to take a bath and shave your legs right after you get out of the tanning bed?

I heard a long time ago that you shouldn't bathe or shve your legs within like 5 hours of when you last went to the tanning bed. Is this true?Is it okay to take a bath and shave your legs right after you get out of the tanning bed?
beats me why it shouldn't be OK.


Everybody who has ever been at the beach or swimming pool has been tanning and then gone for a swim.


If you get a sunburn though, your skin will be sensitive. Then the shaving part probably won't be fun. But then I guess you shouldn't use a tanning bed until you get a sunburn.Is it okay to take a bath and shave your legs right after you get out of the tanning bed?
No, I do both everytime I leave the tanning bed and nothing has ever happened to me. I'm 22 and I have been tanning on and off since I was 17.
you can do both straight away, its if you are using fake tan you cant do both for about 6 hours.
no its not okj

Utilities aren't very expensive for a rental. I rent a 2 bedroom apartment and pay approx. $30 per month for electric. Gas is more expensive but since you'll live in FL, you won't have a high bill for heating, just hot water.

What form of lavender i should use and how for bed time bath for my five month old baby so that he may sleep?

i have started giving bed time bath to my 5 month pld baby as solution for sleepless nights.. its just one day i started, i want to know which form of lavender can be used for bath and how it can be used. i live in new delhi, let me know from where i can get it.. i want him to sleep all nightWhat form of lavender i should use and how for bed time bath for my five month old baby so that he may sleep?
First, try to make sure that he's not allergic to lavender. I found my daughter (and myself)... we're both allergic to it. It doesn't make for a calming scent when you're reacting to it. :)





As for where... I don't know. I'm sorry. I don't live there. But, there is a Wal-mart in Amritsar. I know that they typically carry some main brands that have lavender in them.





Personally, for us, my daughter loves her bedtime bath, then a book with dimmed lights, a snuggle (at 5 months, a bottle) and then bed. The scents and lotions never helped us. Though she DID love to have a massage with baby-oil or any lotion that she didn't react to. I kept my movements slow and calming, and that helped.





At that age, she also had to have her sound-machine so that there was a constant sound, and sometimes needed to be swaddled, and sometimes needed pain medicine for teething. Just throwing some other ideas that might help. :)What form of lavender i should use and how for bed time bath for my five month old baby so that he may sleep?
Just answering your question as a mother, I would be very careful what and how much I would add to bathwater. Your baby may get a skin reaction, then would definitely not settle.





With babies, as they are all different little individuals, you can try bathing before bedtime, but I don't think the type of lavender will matter, just not much and don't get it on the baby's skin.





They tend to make their own routine, but you can keep to a routine of active time in the morning, then quiet time in the evening ending with bath, food and bed. For example, even if they have been up during the night, if say you get baby back to sleep at 5am in the morning, I would have a few hours sleep, but then get up and make lots of noise so they may wake up again and get use the morning being the active time, then lunch nap time, then noisy again a few hours later, then activity before dinner say around 5-6pm, then start the winding down ritual of bathing, perhaps even massage with some unscented oil, not too much (not olive oil, perhaps sunflower oil, or peanut) -then food and hopefully bed..... this may work over time, but don't worry too much if they keep changing - that is their personality coming out! Enjoy your baby, and try to rest when they rest.
I use Aveeno Calming baby wash with lavender and vanilla.


I don't think it's so much the scent that helps with bedtime, but more so the ritual and baby knows the routine. Just keep doing what you're doing, if it seems that baby is enjoying it, and hopefully he/she will sleep more when developmentally ready! Good luck :)
Johnson's makes a great Bedtime Baby Wash, as well as Bedtime Lotion. WalMart makes an equivelant, but it does not suds up or smell as good as Johnson's. I would not try to make one, but buy one that is made already. It is not guaranteed to make babies sleep through the night though. It never did mine...
I use johnson's lavender baby wash. Maybe try giving your baby a massage afterwards...it works wonders!
Get the Johnson's Bedtime Bath at Target or Walmart.
Well I buy Bedtime bath and its lavender. If you find a secret lavender that is going to make him sleep ALL night pass some this way.
we just use j and j's lavendar line, it smells wonderful; and after all the washing and splashing, i think she would sleep no matter what we used...

Where can I find a 2 bed 2 bath apartment that is under $1200/mo and close to downtown?

preferably with oversized/walk in closets, washer dryers in unit, gated.Where can I find a 2 bed 2 bath apartment that is under $1200/mo and close to downtown?
Downtown where? I would check the newspaper first and also check with Real Estate companies, many of them have rental property, or ask them for a referral. Best Wishes and Happy apartment hunting

What is a good schedule for a newborn who is breastfeeding? please including feeding times, naps and bed bath?

I have two kids, ages 5 and 2. I breastfed both of them for 15 months, and introduced them to solids around 5 months. Personally, I used a schedule starting when they were about 15 days old. I never had any problems with this, and found my kids were happier with a routine. I'm not a nazi schedule mom, and be aware that your child may not be happy with a 3 hour schedule. Some newborns do better on a 2.5 hour schedule. This is just basic routine. I also don't believe in letting my kids sleep with me, and I found that keeping my babies in a laundry basket right by my bedside was the easiest way to get around with them when they were first born. This schedule will change, but something like this should help you establish a routine with your little one.





6 am -- feeding,


go right back to sleep





9 am - feeding,


followed by play time, then back to sleep





noon - feeding,


play time, back to sleep





3 pm - feeding , play time, back to sleep








5 or 6 pm - they might get fussy this time of day, feeding, often need


a bit more comforting (snuggling, holding), may go to sleep, but it's


better to keep them awake until bath time.





bath time for babies (Always bathe baby before bed in the evening, not in the morning. Morning baths make them want to sleep all day.)





8 pm - Nice, long feeding, put to bed for the night





Expect baby to wake up at least 1 time during the night to feed. Mine always did around 3 am for the first few weeks.What is a good schedule for a newborn who is breastfeeding? please including feeding times, naps and bed bath?
I followed my daughters signs for hunger, but I had a routine for bath time %26amp; bedtime everynight. by 7 weeks she was sleeping through the night %26amp; has been ever since. (she is now 18 months old).





By 6.30pm I gave her a bath everynight (not just when she is dirty say 4-5 days, you try to **** %26amp; piss in your pants just have a wipe, change your knickers %26amp; then not have a shower or bath for 4-5 days??!! Not nice eh??) after bath 10 min slow massage front %26amp; back, not too hard (when on her tummy make sure their head is facing the side.)





7pm good feed with lights down low or just tv on but quiet. I left the tv on so she could hear it so she thought she wasn't alone. (she could not see the tv just hear it).





When she woke a couple of times in the night i would always change her bum first before i fed her as after would wake her up!! As soon as she finished feeding, back to bed straight away.





During the day, if she wakes before 6 feed %26amp; back to bed, after 6, feed %26amp; play/stimulation, tummy time, when showing hungry again maybe 2-3 hrs after feed %26amp; bed, repeat play/sleep until bathtime.





as the baby gets older %26amp; starts eating solids you push the bathtime to 6:45, 7:00, 7:30. You drop a couple of day sleeps until they have 1 in the morning %26amp; 1 in the afternoon, not after 4pm as they will not go to bed at the bedtime.


Even if the child is in bed not crying just playing byself just leave them to go to sleep by themselves.





This is what has worked for me time %26amp; time again.





Children even babies need routine or youll be having kids that dont go to bed untill 11-12 at night %26amp; getting up at 10-11 in the morning %26amp; you will not be able to do anything for yourself/husband/boyfriend/house.





Good luck!!!What is a good schedule for a newborn who is breastfeeding? please including feeding times, naps and bed bath?
Feeding should happen when hungry, naps as needed, and bathing every couple of days. In a couple of weeks he/she should fall into their own routine which, as you adjust to it, will change as his/her needs change. (Ex: growth spurts @ 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, ect where they may seem to eat constantly are normal)
Newborns don't need schedules set by their parents. You offer to nurse at least every 1-2 hours and allow him/her to nurse whenever you notice possible signs of hunger. A newborn will go to sleep when s/he wants for both nap and bedtime. All you can do is keep the house bright during the day and dark at night to help him/her learn day and night.
You're joking, right?





Newborns, especially breastfed newborns, don't conform to schedules. You feed them when they are hungry. They nap when they are sleepy. About the only thing you can do schedule-wise is bath them at roughly the same time of day and keep it dark and quiet at night.
Throw away all your clocks. Nurse when baby is hungry. Nap when baby is sleepy. Bathe when baby is dirty. Go to bed when baby passes out.





ETA: You nurse baby as long as she wants on one breast, then offer the other. Seriously, throw away the clock, and just pay attention to baby's cues.
You do not schedule, you feed you baby on demand and let them sleep when they need to sleep.





Trying to put a newborn on a schedule is not a good idea and potentially harmful.





Just follow your baby's lead.
When a breastfed baby is allowed to feed whenever he wants he actually changes the breast milk so it has exactly what he needs. Trying to use a schedule will most likely hurt your supply.
baby is hungry - feed


baby is done eating and falls asleep - nap


you have time to clear enough space and baby is not crying or sleeping - bath


bed time................ yeah right, when ever possible.





Sorry the way you worded the question you really sounded like a first time parent that thinks you can schedule a newborn and really especially if you are nursing that just doesn't work. You need to offer the breast often and as long as baby wants it. there is no time limit or really any guidelines since every baby and woman is different, some newborns will need to nurse for 30 minutes every hour, some will only nurse for 10 minutes every couple of hours. It is normal to expect baby to nurse at least every 2 hours, if you have a fast let down and the milk comes fast then baby may not need to nurse for very long, but if the milk comes slower it will take longer, unfortunately there is really no way to know how it will work out ahead of time. In my experience it is best to nurse on just one side per session, that way you know for sure the breast is getting drained well and baby is getting the richer creamy hind milk, switching breasts too soon before baby has drained the first side can lead to your supply decreasing and baby getting too much thin lower fat fore milk which can cause reduced weight gain and runny diapers.





You said you didn't have enough milk for your first, it is very rare for a woman to not be able to produce enough milk, you may just need to nurse more often and not offer any supplements, it can take 2 - 5 days for your milk to come in after the baby is born, and often women think that because it has taken so long they are just not going to produce any or enough milk, baby will be just fine with only the colostrum for these first few days and the more often they nurse the faster and stronger your milk supply will come in. Just be patient and remember help is available from lactation consultants and nurses while you are in the hospital and La Leche League after, since you had issues the first time around and want to nurse this time is would probably be a good idea to touch bases with the LLL in your area now before baby comes, you can get some great coaching and meet other nursing moms that you will be able to call on if you need help after baby arrives.


Good Luck
Is it even possible to put a newborn on a schedule?
a newborn breastfeeding drinks on demand. Naps when tired. Baths every 4 or 5 days is fine.
