Morning tummy sleeping

This isn't typical behavior for her, but I sit here this morning, and my exclusive task is watching her back move up and down!!  WHO DOES THIS??? WHO SLEEPS LIKE THIS??


Who sleeps not only on their tummy, but also with their face planted in the mattress? I mean, she's breathing ok, but really?? Mommy heart attack!


She sleeps on her left side a lot during the night, so when she fell asleep nursing this morning on her side I didn't think anything of it. Then she slowly creeped to her belly and has been stationed there for a good 45 minutes now. 


And she has repositioned herself back to face planting position several times. What a weirdo!! I'm waiting for her to wake up in a fit because she hates being flat on her belly lol. 

I do NOT recommend the burp cloth being left with baby since it is a suffocating hazard (we need it underneath us to nurse side-lying), but as I mentioned I am on watch duty!! lol

I will add that yes, it is recommended to put a baby on their back to sleep. But the guideline also states if they find a way to their belly to let them sleep; they clearly have strength to get to their belly. So, I will take this as an opportunity to sit back and watch my baby sleep. 

10-minute later update: as anticipated, she woke up in a blur. 

The look in this picture says "I have no idea where I am at yet." 

She quickly proceeded to huff and puff because she did NOT want to be on her belly. To which I needed to guide her to roll onto her back, and voila!, usual happy morning baby!
