My 9 month old often sleeps with her head tossed back like that. She does it on either side, and I never side nursed, so I think it's just a thing she likes to do. For most of the night she tends to sleep on her stomach, so I'm not too worried about her sleep positioning... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sleeps-with-arched-back#post-508024 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 14:02:03 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 508024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: DD did the same thing around that time. She grew out of it and now sleeps on her stomach with her butt in the air :-) </p> [attach=1632/13/mgqfjg.600x338.IMAG0622.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sleeps-with-arched-back#post-507623 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 11:36:45 +0000 sunny 507623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's almost 5 months. I guess I will ask at our next appointment. I wonder if this is related to side nursing in bed...? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sleeps-with-arched-back#post-502512 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 08:01:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 502512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From birth my daughter did this. We actually brought it up to a pediatric physical therapist that we saw out of office. She said it looked like she was just in a backward position in utero (instead of the fetal position she kinda was the other way). She said to just make sure she spent some time in the swing/car seat to help stretch the muscles in the back of her neck (practice tucking her chin to her chest). </p> <p>Babies will sleep the way they are comfortable so I wouldn't worry about it too much. You can also ask your pedi about it and they are trained too to stretch the head/neck to make sure the muscles are right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sleeps-with-arched-back#post-502490 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 07:23:46 +0000 MusicaV 502490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is your LO? Up until DS was about 3 months old, he slept like that constantly. He's easing up on it now (almost 4 months), but he still does it. Our ped said it was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-sleeps-with-arched-back#post-502463 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 03:48:33 +0000 sunny 502463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been watching my LO sleep on the monitor and I noticed that she spends a lot of time sleeping with her back really arched.</p> <p>Should I be worried? Does anyone else's LOs sleep in strange positions? </p> [attach=2232/13/mglxsy.600x450.image.jpg]
