Do 2 year olds legs fall asleep?

Question

My two year old nephew woke up from his nap crying, I grabbed him and put him on his legs in the living room to play and he started walking funny, he was favoring one leg, it looked like one of his legs was asleep... does that actually happen?

Answer 1

Of course.  A leg falling asleep is simply the result of the blood vessels to the area being blocked (from sitting or laying in the same position for a long time).  I can happen just as easily in children as in adults.

Answer 2

yes. probably more frequently than most adults becuase their so small., and hes still growing

Answer 3

yes if it can happen to a 25 yr. old then it can happen to 2 yr. old

Answer 4

Yes, there limbs go numb or to sleep just the smae as ours. My niece has had this happen a few times during the night in the last 4 almost 5 years.
