Pocket, but your jeans will most likely make it print (if that's an issue, I know VA is OC).
I think if you are able to wear the second baby sling and carry that is the better option. Being able to draw and fire one magazine full of ammo at any threat is probably your most practical option. Retreat while creating distance to get you and you child to safer quarters. Figure with a 1911 you have 6-9 shots (depending on size and caliber) before you will need to reload. Should be plenty to get to safety.
If you have time, then you can reload. Practice doing this with a pillow in the sling instead of the baby, for safety.
Also try putting your back up mag in a pocket or a place other than your waistline. Maybe carry 2 mags, one in the pouch like normal and one in a pocket. Grab whatever one is closer. If you need to reload twice, you're up the creek big time.
ETA: This is where those one hand drills in IDPA come into play. Push one ear of your child into your chest while using your weak hand to cover the other ear.
