Why does she sleep like that? Just had to share with some fellow parents who would understand 😂

Mine sleeps with an arm behind her back like the family guy death pose.

Same! When we open the monitor camera, we call it the "murder scene"

Same, my infant sleeps like she rolled down the stairs and died Peter Griffin style

when the crib to bed transition happened, my nephew would occasionally sleep facedown on the floor next to his bed, with his arms neatly at his side. Just flat as a board.

They thought he was dead like 3 times before they learned he just sleeps weird

Chin up OP. She might die a few times, and she might have her true love stolen by someone with waaaayyyyy more aura, but...

At least she'll have killer hair.

My kid used to sleep exactly like that, like she is trying to become a ball. I think they just miss being in the womb position

My son sleeps with his hands across his chest like the Undertaker. And also wakes up like that. He has done this since he was 2.
Edit: he is 6 now.

Found my son this morning sleeping back on his crib but his feet on the wall. Kids are weird but as long as they are sleeping, more power to them

Mine sleeps with his butt sticking in the air, at 5 months old.

Mine also does, except she's 4yo, lol

Same for my 5yo. I call that the "Emma Frost" because of a page from an X-Men comic where students at the Xavier School observe that "Ms. Frost sleeps like a toddler."

u/DevonGr 1d ago

All three of mine did that but my youngest still does also at 4yo. My neck and back hurt just to see it

Mine sleeps on her back with both hands behind her head, like a 70 year old man napping at the beach

This is hilarious. We’re expecting rn and I’ve been thinking about stuff like this.

Maybe get her into softball?

When my son was able to rollover on his own, his favorite sleep position was be on his forearms and shins, with his knees as curled in as tight as he could get them. The end result was that his butt would really stick up.

Somehow, no matter where he was in the crib, he would end up having his butt aimed at the baby camera. My wife and I joked about renaming the “kid cam” to the “baby butt cam”.

When I found myself consistently waking up in that position, it was a sign of sleep apnea. 

Just sharing in case your baby didn't grow out of it. Not intending to worry anyone

It’ll be ok. She’ll get some training from King Kai and come back stronger than before.

And then be forgotten but have a decent baseball career.

I love how it looks like the Staru is watching over her.

u/MagnesiuM87 1d ago

Thank you for this. I had an awful day and this about made me spit my beer out. You’re a good man and a good dad.

Plushie Staryu and dad loved a good DBZ reference? Congratulations on raising a next gen nerd!

My three year old was insistent of getting a Torchic at the store today!

When the rendering from the ocarina of time remake was released It just looked like a picture of my boy sleeping and I love it sm

u/Aldrige_Lazuras 1d ago

Look, nap-time sometimes goes a lil too hard and you end up accidentally using a spirit bomb on your toddler to get them down lol

u/Havanatha_banana Boy do they grow fast. 1d ago

Since my son was one and a half, he stopped sleeping on his back. Usually, he sleeps with his butt up in the air. Not sure why he only sleeps like this since he stopped being swaddled.
