Yoga ball PLUS sling/wrap/Ergo/carrier of choice equals the ability to bounce baby while playing on the internet (carefully balanced laptop on the edge of the couch required) or reading a magazine. I do NOT recommend drinking from a cup while employing this technique.

I lived on my yoga ball with my first!! Luckily #2 doesn’t seem to need it, but the yoga ball was also the BEST most comfortable place for me to labor. Now I hold the big green ball in a special place in my heart.

My husband had great luck bouncing Nick on the yoga ball in those early months. We did keep it around a long time, and Nick liked pushing it around as he got bigger. Needless to say, not one crunch was ever performed on it, despite my best intentions!

And, if your baby refuses to go to sleep nursing, strolling, riding in car seat, rocking, or walking, and you throw out your back bouncing your baby to sleep several times a day, you might consider putting a nursing pillow under your swaddled baby so that you can support all of their weight on your lap instead of using your back.

[...] If you still have that yoga ball around (and you’re not currently using it for ab work), get it out to thrill and delight your baby. We still keep ours in Holden’s room and each morning, he wants to visit it. [...]
