That C-Section babies are more common to sleep with their arms above their head..
I was a C-Section baby and still sleep with my arms above my head but I thought it was just somthing people did lol My ds was not a C-Section baby and he doesn't do it which is what made me wonder.. So is it true lol |

| Hmm mine are both CS babies and they sleep in many different ways, but Caden is the one that has his arms by his head the most, Bella is a tummy sleeper, with her bum in the air lol |

DS - c section - doesn't normally sleep with his arms above his head.
DD - vaginal birth - always sleeps with her arms above her head. I remember seeing somewhere it's a sign of contentment/feeling secure? -------------

| I was a VB and sleep with my arms over my head (or wake up that way). The girls were CS and Amber does, Jade doesn't (she's a tummy sleeper as well, bum in the air). |

I think tummy sleepers with bum in air look so adorable and always wanted DS to sleep like that but he is a flat on the back baby. sigh. -------------

I have a tummy sleeper, sometimes she has hands up sometimes they are curled up under her like chicken wings. She was VB, I'm the same as her but lie more on my side. ------------- Kiara is 3 and Teagan is 2, now we're expecting our long awaited 3rd! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

| I love the arms above their head pose...just gorgeous. But heres one for ya. My DS2 was brow presentation (and therefore CS). My DS1 was ventouse and I was forceps. We all sleep with our necks bent back. My OB commented on it when she say DS2 in the ward. I wonder if thats how we all were in the womb? |

DS was born vaginally and sleeps with his arms above his head (when he's not wrapped).
I was born vaginally and often wake up with my arms above my head, but they've usually gone to sleep  -------------

DS was a c-sec baby, if he is really tired he will just crash and have his arms up, but generally he is a tumy sleeper bum in the air type... its so cute!

Heh, didn't think it was true
DS slept with his arms above his head for the first time lastnight lol he usually has the spread out the side but at one point lastnight they were up.. He's often a tummy sleeper too but not the cute bum in the air kind |
