learning 'space' in bed

[Olive]

DD has been in a bed since aged 2 and without a side rail for about a month now.
she sleeps in the most ackward postitions! half the time we have to put her back into bed because shes hanging backwards over the edge! i have a small pillow under the fitted sheet to act as a 'barrier' as she fell out one night.
my question is when do they sleep normally! i.e head ON the pillow feet under the covers!

ds1 still doesnt and hes 3.5
sometimes i find him on top of the doona, or he has it twisted around his legs

DS is 9 years old and I still have to put one half of his body back on the bed before I go to bed at night.

I am actually amazed that since going into a bed Charlie is the opposite & sleeps the right way...its weird he still has arvo naps in his cot, as it's onlybeen 2wks. In the arvo he is in all sorts of positions, but I have not moved him once in his bed. It's just another individual thing I guess.

Nina will be 3 next month and she's a shocker! There is no way we can remove the side rail anytime soon (although I'd love to).

Ive always given my kids 2 pillows cause of the same reason hon.

one goes the normal way and the other runs down the side from the head of the bed......it that fails I use the 'u' pillow to keep them guided in. oh and my boys STILL have their pillow that was...N is 9 on thursday and W is 7

I think it only stops when they are too big to turn around without waking themselves up completely and wonder what the hell am I doing.

I remember I was about 9-10 and I woke myself up spinning around the bed with my head jammed up against the wall wondering what on earth was I doing - I remeber I was dreaming I was a pineapple slice floating in a pool at the time - BTW crazy that I remember this - my god I know

When I have the bed to myself I'm all over the shop by morning. So...maybe some time after 25?

My husband is 40, and if he has the bed to himself he (and the doona) ends up all over the shop!!!

Gosh I'm a mean mum, my DS sleeps all over the place too, but he doesn't have a bed rail!

Dont have that problem here....rail was taken down around 1 month after she went to bed as DD would always push it off somehow.

WOnder if our HD are brothers

Jols, I was going to say DH is 33 this year and he still sleeps half over the bed, sometimes his head is on my side and his legs are off the bed completely

I hope your DD grows out of it soon.

My kids are pretty good. Think they got out of the habit of spinning whilst co-sleeping with us, so when they go to their own bed they still sleep the right way up hehe. they never had the freedom of moving around their own cot, they had to fit between us in our bed.

Kameron is 7 and is hopeless as well. He is always upside down and back to front LOL. Lachlan on the other hand is 5 and hardly moves.
