When my twins came home from the hospital, I had a 4 year old and 3 year 
old. They had been preemies, so between hospital trips (I stayed there every 
waking hour, sleeping here at night- one was there two weeks, once for a 
month)  I was frazzled I guess. We needed groceries shortly after they came 
home , so I packed up a 4 , 3, and two newborns and headed to the Grocery 
Store. Well, one was in a car seat carrier on the cart the other, larger 
twin was in a sling. As I was paying..I noticed he was sort of still..or 
just SOMETHING set me off. I pulled him out and realized he was gray! (This 
is SO hard for me to write- I get sick thinking about it) I said something 
about OH my God, my baby..help meeeee.. the cashier looked clueless...and 
the  woman in front of me... WOW...was a nicu nurse. Seriously??!?! She 
pulled his hair and he was good to go. After some tests, we found both 
babies were having long periods of Bradichardia ... but not apnea. However 
with the brad. there is a higher chance of with any of those things listed 
on the page you sent that they will not pick back up and remember to 
breathe.  So while I'm a HUGE sling advocate i did realize how VERY 
important it is to see your baby and really check their positioning! As it 
turned out there was an ambulance driving by the front of the store as well. 
So all is well, but still a very hard day to think about and taught me one 
heck of an important lesson. He's no worse off for it as he is ONE brilliant 
kid. A lot of us tend to want to so badly scream slings! yay! that we hate 
to have to take notice of sling safety.
