My LO has a floor bed but she does that too. We switched to the floor bed from the crib about four months ago. She spends about one week out of a month on the floor. We don't fight it.

Is it possible that she's feeling too contained in the toddler bed?

I honestly don't know if it's worth it to do anything about it though, you could put the mattress on the floor, but then you'd have to go and move the bed, that's a huge PITA.

@blackbird: My DS did this as well - sometimes I even found him in the hallway sleeping with is blankets and pillows (on hardwood floors) - I use to move him and then gave up. After a few weeks he stopped and started staying in his bed.
I wouldn't worry about it

There were times as a kid I would sleep in the bathtub. Unless she's waking up sore I wouldn't worry too much.

If her bed is crowded perhaps finding another place for the stuffed animals may work. Even rearranging the bed so she has room to hang out on both sides may give her the extra freedom to move in her sleep.

Good to know. We've been trying to make ds stay in the bed and it's a fight, I guess I just need to give up on that idea.

We aren't quite there yet, but I see this in my near future.

ETA: One of my friends two girls who are 3 & 5 still do this from time to time. It's totally bizarro. I don't remember doing this as a child. hahaha

My brother used to climb out of bed, pile all his plastic toys and stuffed animals into a nest in the closet and sleep on top of it. I have no idea how it was comfortable! He was about 3 when he did it and eventually outgrew it.

My DD (3) does this sometimes. She calls it a camp out. I would think it'd be uncomfy but whatever! We just lay her blankets on the floor and she sleeps on them tucked in. Glad to see it isn't only her!
