Article: Most babies begin crawling when they are between 7 to 10 months, so experts recommend installing baby gates when your child is about 6 months old. Since babies develop skills at different rates, keep an eye out for when your child starts experimenting with crawling to determine if you need to put gates up sooner. This may seem a bit early, but it's better to be over prepared: most babies progress from small movements to fast crawling fairly quickly. Some babies skip the crawling stage and go directly to walking. If this happens with your child, you may be able to wait until they are 8-12 months old before you need to install gates. Baby gates are generally safe and necessary for children between 6 months and 2 years old. However, every situation is unique since children develop skills at different rates. When your child is able to climb over the safety gate or has figured out how to open it, you should remove it and teach them how to safely navigate that area of your house. Otherwise, the gate can create its own falling, climbing, and tripping hazards. Larger or stronger children may outgrow their baby gates sooner. If you still need to use a baby gate for a younger sibling, try to teach your older children how to open and close the gate themselves. Any adults in the house should go through the gates properly (rather than stepping over them) to help teach by example. Hardware mounted gates, also called permanent gates, are screwed into the wall or doorway on either side of the gate. Although they take more effort to install, they are far more stable than pressure-mounted gates, which can be easily jarred loose with a hard push. To prevent your baby from taking a dangerous spill down the stairs, always use a hardware-mounted gate in this hazardous location. Falls from stairs are the leading cause of emergency department visits for children under the age of 2, so it's very important to place hardware-mounted gates at the top of any staircase in your home. Pressure-mounted gates are held in place across an opening by the pressure they exert against the door frame or walls. These gates are less secure than hardware-mounted gates and are therefore best for areas where falling isn't a major concern, such as in a doorway between two areas with same-level flooring. You should also install pressure-mounted gates at the bottoms of staircases to prevent children from climbing up the stairs and then falling back down. For example, you may want to use a pressure-mounted gate to block off the pantry or kitchen, keeping your child away from hazardous foods or choking hazards. You can also use pressure-mounted gates to separate your baby from any pets in your home until they're more comfortable together. Do not place pressure-mounted gates at the top of the stairs. They can become dislodged, allowing your child to fall down the stairs. The bar at the bottom of these gates can also serve as a tripping hazard for adults. If possible, buy a new gate that has been certified by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA). If you have a used gate, make sure it meets current safety standards by checking product recalls from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission: https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls. Avoid using older accordion-style gates with diamond or V-shaped openings wider than 1.5 inches (3.8cm). These are not considered to be safe because a baby's arms or neck could become trapped in the open spaces. Use a gate meant specifically for children. Do not reuse gates intended for pets.

Put up gates before your baby starts crawling. Remove the baby gate when you child can get around it. Choose a hardware-mounted model for the top of a staircase. Use pressure-mounted gates in less hazardous locations. Find a gate that meets current safety standards.
Article: The pineapple juice will already give this cocktail a sweet taste, but if you'd like something even sweeter, add a handful of cotton candy into the glass. Try to fill the glass up to the brim with cotton candy. Don't worry, the cotton candy will dissolve the instant you add the liquid. This will help chill the martini. If you don't like pineapple juice, you can try another type of juice, such as cranberry. This will mix everything together as well as chill it. If you added any cotton candy into the glass, you'll see it disappear the moment the mixture touches it. Try to balance the cotton candy on the rim of the glass, but don't let it touch the martini, or it will disappear. If you can't get it to balance, spear it onto a cocktail stick instead, and put the stick into the martini.

Article: Measure the distance between your armpits to your upper torso. Use a simple piece of string, a small-diameter rope, or a body strap. Cut two pieces of material to this length and see if they fit around your body. The chest strap should be leveled to your arm pit on your upper chest. Once you find a comfortable fit, seal the ends with a knot to prevent unraveling. You can also use Velcro to attach the chest strap. Measure and cut out two thin strings that will go over your shoulders and attach to the chest strap to hold it in place. Take a measurement while the chest strap is attached, then remove the chest strap to attach the shoulder straps. You can knot the straps in place or use velcro to secure the shoulder straps to the chest strap. Imagine the design of a bra to help construct this design. There are plenty of options for underarm guards or pads. You can either make your own pads or buy a pack of premade pads designed to attack the sweat. Use whatever product or design that fit your needs. Use a safety pin or tape to attach the underarm guards to the harness where it crosses under your armpits. The guards should fit snugly against your underarms without impeding circulation. The easiest way to put on the harness is to insert each arm as if pulling on a cut-off T-shirt. Put your head through the harness. Adjust the length of the shields as needed. Once you're satisfied with the placement of the guards and harness, put the rest of your clothing on. Determine if you can see the harness while fully clothed by looking in a mirror. One way to hide the harness is by wearing an under shirt over the harness and then wear an additional shirt. Loose fit clothing will also help conceal the harness. Give yourself at least one week to test the comfort of the harness before trying a new technique.
