It's true that every baby is different. Lela liked to be held like a normal baby:
(Lela at 2 months)
Sasha doesn't like to be held in a reclining position. She likes to be held upright, over a shoulder. But her favorite position is being propped up on a hip, facing outward. I call it the "magic hold" because she'll actually fall asleep like this after a few minutes, all slumped over my arm. It looks awful, but I swear she likes it! Either that, or I'm restricting her airway to the point when she passes out. Just kidding (I hope).

I bet you're getting elbow and shoulder pain...time to invent a new sling.
