Will carrying my baby in a sling make her sleep less at night?

My baby never settles during the day always crying and whinging one good thing is she is normally very good at night about 9pm she gets very tired and sleepy today is the first day of having her in a sling and she’s so settled more than she’d ever been but she’s sleeping so much in the sling I’m worried she won’t be tired tonight she’s 6 weeks old she’s been in the sling since about 12:30 today she went asleep as soon as I put her in I couldn’t believe it I fed her and put her back in the sling and she went right back to sleep will all this sleeping make her less tired tonight?

Sleep breeds sleep in my opinion. I wouldn't think it would make any difference to her sleep later on. And she will probably be less grizzly during the day.

Unlikely. Well rested babies sleep better in my experience

She is 6 weeks old - all they do is sleep.

I wore my DD mostly in a sling and it made no difference to her sleep.

No

No. I did baby wearing and at that young they need sleep like a fish needs water. It won’t keep her up at night.
