I have a sling that I used when Brenna was small but not much since. With the twins I was always alternating between them and could not hold one for an extended period of time. Recently I have taken it back out of retirement. When one of my children are sick, or especially whinny or needy I whip it out. An hour connected to my hip usually resolves the problem. It also prevents me from putting them down unnoticed. Sometimes my mind races and I do not realize I have put the child down until the screaming returns, but with the sling, it takes effort to get them out, therefore I am forced to hold them until they request to get out. I have become very talented at what I can still accomplish even with a baby in a sling.
