I did get a sling, but am having a hard time
using it -- I cannot find a position that seems comfy for the baby.
He protests whenever we try it, so I have been stuck in a chair most
of the time...if I am not carrying him while he is attached!
Just thought I chime in on this part. Although my dd didn't have siblings,
she was/IS very high needs/spirited and hated the slings as well. I really,
really wanted to use a sling, but she'd have no part of it : ) I think it felt
too confining for her. What I did find she loved was the baby bjorn. She
liked being UP and facing out at the world...she had to SEE what was going on all
the time and then she was happy. Then in a few months, when she started
getting heavy in the front carrier, we found a light framed backpack that she
LOVED. The only way she'd take a nap was if she was in that backpack and watching
me do my housework or out on walks...or whatever. So, I'd just suggest
trying other styles of carriers...hopefully you'll find one that she likes because
it is SO freeing and you'll be able to be more interactive w/the littles.

Warmly,
Denise
