Title: Do toddlers normally sleep curled up in a ball?
Post by: LukasMom on January 12, 2006, 08:16:20 am

I was just wondering if they all sleep curled up in a ball at age 1 1/2 or so.  And when they stop sleeping like that? 
Also, when do they start to stay under a blanket?
My dd still sleeps like a mouse curled up in a little nest.   :lol:

My 16mth ds sleeps curled up on his hands and knees with his bum in the air  :lol:  (sooo cute) and 1st i would always go in and stretch him out onto his tummy but he would be back in his ball when id check on him again!!

I have tried blankets a few times and all of those time he woke upset tangled up in them, so i'll be sticking to sleep bags for awhile :lol:

My ds sleeps sprawled out all over the place!  So, no he doesn't keep blankets on at all either!

Yep - Jack does bum in the air, on his knees - we call it his praying to Mecca position.

Ella didn't keep the duvet on until about 2.5 yrs - I'd creep back in after she was asleep and cover her - both in sleeping bags until nearly 2.
