Sleeping in sling vs bed

I'm keen to hear the experiences of other mum's of slingbabies with regards to sleep. I have an 11 wk old daughter, and around the 5 wk mark she started to become very difficult to settle during the day. I perservered for a couple of weeks trying to get her to sleep in her basinett, but all that happened was that her daytime naps turned to custard and she was only sleeping for 25 mins at a time . So I started putting her in my meitai sling a lot more, and now she has most of her daytime naps in that. She's back to sleeping for an hour or more at a time, and we are both much less stressed so its working out well and I'm happy to continue with this for the moment.

However I'm a bit worried out how this is going to pan out in future, as in a few months its going to be impractical for her to be having her day time naps in the sling - for one thing I have to go back to work part time. I'm keen to hear how and when (or if) other mums who use slings a lot manage to get their babies to sleep in their beds. Will she just grow out of this sling-sleeping phase and become better at settling in her bed? At what age should I start trying to get her to settle in her bed? She pretty much won't sleep in her bassinet during the day at all now - even if I put her down after she's gone to sleep she almost always wakes up.

I should add that she sleeps in her bassinet at night no problem - only wakes up once or twice between 8pm and 7am.

I used to use my moby for at least one sleep a day when DD was little. She's 5 months now and will still sleep in it but will happily sleep in her own bed too. I generally use it if she is unsettled now, but she also enjoys being in it walking about too.

My DD2 (now 8.5mos) went through a very similar phase, only sleeping on me in the meitai for day sleeps. She did this for about two months, and eventually I got her back to sleeping in a bed - I discovered that she quite liked to feed lying down so at first would just put her in our (master) bed, then transitioned to her cot.

She still has plenty of day sleeps in our sling though (MT or SSC), we would never get out and about otherwise or get any errands done!

I know it seems like a cliche but I promise, this too shall pass!

Don't stress, she'll be fine . DS slept in a mei tai a lot when he was teensy, then a hammock, then shifted into his cot with no great drama.

I'm a big fan of the idea that sling babies turn out to be so secure that they're actually very versatile! I remember a plunket nurse trying to tell me I was 'creating a rod' blah blah blah, so glad now that I ignored her. I still carry DS (13 months) in the Mei Tai when we go out for a wander, or even when he's keen for a cuddle. He gets excited now when he sees me getting it out of my bag
