I am a stay at home mom of a 1 year old and babysit for two 5 month olds. I am not sure what to DO with these babies all day. Right now, I play/talk to each one individually for a little bit, then basically rotate the two young ones among the baby furniture through the day, while my one year old spends most of her day in the playpen. Some days when they are extra fussy and I am going stir crazy, I throw them in the car and we drive around, but with three infants, actually getting out of the car to do something is out of the question.

In addition to not knowing what to do, one of the babies has just been especially difficult. She doesn't cry, she screams. And nothing occupies her long enough for me to feed either one of the other two...within 10 minutes, she's SCREAMING again. She's fine when I pick her up, but I can't hold her while I am feeding another, nor can I just hold her ALL day. I have a ring sling, which I love, but she will have NONE of that.

So two questions...what to do with three babies all day and what to do about one who just wants to be held all day?
