I just leave her and she ends up lying down eventually. Babies are much more flexible and comfortable in crazy positions than we would be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/falling-asleep-sitting-up#post-1075628 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 05:08:40 +0000 immabeetoo 1075628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaJ: I guess I'd leave him if he's not crying. My LO falls asleep sitting up (not crying just playing) in his crib frequently at naps. He always uncurls and rolls over after 20 minutes so he's lying down again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/falling-asleep-sitting-up#post-1075582 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 01:25:35 +0000 Running Elley 1075582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you did the right thing! E fell asleep surfing up while we were nap training a few times but he eventually (I don't think it took more than a day or 2) figured out to just lay down instead. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/falling-asleep-sitting-up#post-1075579 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 01:20:20 +0000 MamaJ 1075579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are on night one of sleep training. DS is 9 months old and he ended up in part of the crib I can't really see in the monitor so I went in. Well he was sleeping sitting up with his face in the mesh breathable bumper. I'm glad I ended up going in to check on him. I layed him down and he went to sleep but he was up 20 mins later standing and sitting up but no crying. </p> <p>I ended up going back in and laying him down and patted him until he rolled over and fell asleep. It's like he sits up and can't figure out that he needs to lie down. </p> <p>What should I do if/when this happens again? Just let him fall asleep sitting up and make sure he isn't in the bumper? </p> <p>We are going from cosleeping/nursing to sleep to crib so I know patting him is still a sleep crutch but I wasn't sure what to do! </p>
