Salsa, I am with you on this one. My bub cosleeps and will only fall asleep on me or in a sling. She only sleeps for 30 mins though, so it is IMPOSSIBLE to do anything but wear and entertain her all day.

I wish I could help you, but I just wanted to say you're not alone, and I can't be bothered thinking about long term "habits" because frankly I have to get through today and tomorrow and the next day!

I say, lets enjoy our baby wearing. Soon they'll be leaping from our arms and we'll have to beg for a cuddle!
yes, my son is the same. Sleeps 10 -30 mins unless its in the sling or my arms - where he will sleep for ages. I spend all day trying to get him to sleep if I dont use the sling. I have 2, a pouch and a mei tai.


catherinemoses - he is 3 mths next week!
I will try wrapping with one arm free. thanks for the suggestion.

I didnt have this problem with my last kid - actually Im trying not to see it as a problem, just a different child with different ways. As lovely as it is that he likes being so close and cuddly with me its a bit of a drain on me. I`m the sort of person who likes sewing, painting etc keeping active. Its difficult to manage that stuff with a baby strapped to you.
I do really love having the slings though, they make things so much easier!
