sleeping with arms stretched out

glenrapids

DD loves to sleep with her arms stretched out wide.  this makes for some uncomfortable positions when we're bed-sharing with her.  it's like she gets one half of the bed and DH and I are squished on the other half.  so unfair!  haha. 

any other arm-stretched-out babies?

It's amazing how much space these little bodies can take up. We don't bedshare, but LO sleeps like a ref calling a touchdown. It cracks me up!

Our little one likes to sleep with his hands behind his head. I know he's ready for bed when his elbows cover his ears. 

Carmen: Great pictures. I like the Donky Kong.

I love that picture Carmen! That Stalker one cracks me up.

My littke guy sleeps with his hands above his head also!! He takes up alotof room. He likes to be left alone with his own space and nothing touching him to fall asleep. No cuddles anymore

Abby does this  too, but she's mostly laying on my belly, so she "hugs" me all night

Hopefully this picture is not too huge, I'm not a PIP master.  Your post reminded me of this. We don't bed share, but DD loves to sleep stretched out.

This is hilarious, thanks for sharing!! Daddy will get a kick out of this I have to add, we also have a 20 lb terrier and 8 lb min pin that also shares our Queen size bed. When we move, I'm hoping for a King and large master suite to fit it in, lol!!!

C sleeps like that. Actually this is his usual sleeping position, but his arms are usually stretched out:

DS does too, we don't bedshare but unless we keep his room really warm his little hands will get so cold, I think this has something to do with it.

DS also sleeps with his arms outstretched above his head. It's so cute!

We don't bed share either, but LO does sleep the same way!

My husband says he sleeps 'like he is falling out of a plane.'  He loves to throw his arms out to the side when he is sleeping between us on the couch and we are each wedged into a corner.

hehe, i meant to post the co-sleeping comic but i was too lazy to find and post it.  i never thought i'd be a bed-sharer, but now i've become on because i'm too tired to keep getting up in the middle of the night with this new 4 month wakefulness!

Our LO likes to sleep arms stretched out too.

We call it Jesus Style (sorry to any I offend, this is just what we call it!)

Our little guy sleeps either with his arms up "over" his head (even if his arms are straight his little hands barely clear the top of his head hahaha) or with them straight down kind of on his tummy/thighs.
