Does anyone else's DC sleep in a 'kneeling' position, face down, bum in the air?

[MrsSeanBean]

DS is 18mo old so fairly safe I think.

He's usually clutching 'teddy' underneath him. But teddy is small, he's not being 'propped up' by teddy.

She now lays on her front with bum in air only sometimes.

My DS sleeps like that sometimes. Not all the time.

DS2 still does sometimes, looks so sweet

My DS has just stopped doing it. I loved it though, so so sweet

My dd 14mths always sleeps like this. wakes up in morning with hair stuck up at front, looks like its been backcombed!

DS(7) goes to sleep like this, but then turns to normal side / back / front positions!

My 3 yr old and my 7 yr old both still do this

Both mine did/do this. So adorable.

I did many years ago!! My mum came up once to find me in my cot in that pose with her best hat on and the contents of her make-up bag spread everywhere, I'd climbed out and back in again! !

Ds did this for ages when he was about 15-18mths old. Very cute!

He now opts for the teddy strangling pose or the horizontal sprinting pose, both rather amusing.

my oldest slept like that ever since he could position himself....my other 2 sometimes sleep like that....

My 14mth DS sleeps like this.
I put it down to the reason why he ends up at one end of the cot with his head against the bars. I think gradually he shifts himself forward as his torso relaxes IYSWIM (like a caterpillar crawls).

I used to sleep like this. M;y DD (20 mos) does too.

I think it's an indication of exceptional intelligence and beauty.

I still sleep like this and I'm almost 37 years and 11 months
Can't agree more with Winkywinkola's comment

A child who is safely tucked up in bed, fast asleep, with its bum in the air, can be forgiven everything, it's so cute (short of supergluing the cat, I suppose).

DD does this (11 months).

I thought it was as though she collapsed mid protest at going to sleep?!

DD did this when younger too. Sh's 6 now and has stopped doing it.

my dd 18 months sleeps like that and if i put my hands on her back when she is settling she grabs my fingers and pulls them under her tummy so i'm hugging her, i love it!

I am melting with love for my ds at the moment. I have always loved him of course, but this is such a lovely age and I am sooooo in love at the moment.

Sigh.... life doesn't get any better than a little bum in the air and a milky kiss just for me.

Yes, ds 17m sleeps like this, exactly the same with the teddy too, no matter how many times I lay him down, it's not long before that big bum is up in the air again!

dd2 used to do this as a baby, she's nearly 3 now and has just about stopped doing it, more of the exhausted flat on her back now

Oh yeah all the time. Lovely isn't it (he's 23 months)

Yep, thats my boy.

I also liked the small baby stage of sleeping like a hieroglyphic.(sp)

DS2 started doing it in the last couple of months - we took it as a sign he was a bit too tall for his cot and have moved him into a bed. - he still sleeps like that so I guess he just likes it.

And if he's not like that he's in some poetic pose with an arm flung behind his head like he's Shelley or something.
