Curious, random question about babies falling asleep

I see people posting photos (on here, Facebook, etc) of their babies that have fallen asleep while playing in the jumperoo/exersaucer/bumbo. If your baby has done this, do they just play and play and fall asleep without making a peep? If my LO starts to fuss, I pick him up and try something else. I'm thinking maybe I am too quick to move him because he never has the chance to fall asleep anywhere. Not that I want him to be falling asleep all over his toys, it just got me wondering if I should chill and leave the kid be.

Re: Curious, random question about babies falling asleep
Peyton has fallen asleep in the bumbo twice. Both times I was not home, so I can only go off of what DH has said.
The first time(the one that won sleeping babies) happened while DH was doing dishes. He set her in there, she was within site playing with the o-ball. She didn't fuss or anything the entire time she was in there playing or after. He just finished the dishes, went to grab her and found a sleeping baby. So like any parent, he ran and got the camera. Haha.
The second time it happened DH had her in front of the coffee table facing away from him, watching tv *gasp!*. Not sure what he was doing? Also watching tv, playing on the computer, no clue? But when he noticed she had been quiet a while he looked and found her sleeping.
Same. DS never just fell asleep anywhere other than his crib/in my arms when he was past the newborn stage. DD has fallen asleep on her playmat while I was putting DS down for his nap. But that hasn't happened in a while.
I'll be honest, my first go round I had such a high maintenance kid, like an hour to get her to sleep at night, I used to see those pictures and think it was sad the kid was so tired and their parents didn't put them to bed. But then came Samuel and that's what he does. I'll put him on his play mat to make Riley breakfast or pack snacks for group and he'll be totally quiet, then I go back in the living room and he's on his belly passed out. Or I'll put him in his bouncer while I put her down for nap and same thing, come back and he's out. I like to think the universe decided it owed me.
But Riley would never ever ever ever ever have done that. Ever. Even if I left her for 5 hours, I bet she still would have been awake screaming lol.
My LO fell asleep in his bouncer when he was younger, so I can see that happening. If I was just chilling in a reclined chair that vibrates, I'd fall asleep. I'm more so talking about something like the jumperoo/exersaucer/bumbo because they totally aren't comfy and I couldn't imagine falling asleep in there. N would nevereverever unless I just left him in there screaming for ever, I'm sure he'd eventually wear himself out.
I was looking at reviews for a jumperoo on Amazon and someone had uploaded a photo of their kid passed out in it saying he loved it so much that he played so hard and passed out. I just can't picture my kid passing out while playing, ha.
