Are you turning her?

Picture this:

Your 12 week old is in her bassinet. You’re doing your nightly hangout in bed next to her while hubby is out in the rest of the house cleaning up from the day and decompressing before you go out to do your last pump of the evening. It’s July 4th and your loud-ass neighbors are yelling and setting off fireworks. And yet your delightful angel is asleep. She’s been extra fussy the last two days for reasons you still can’t quite figure out but hey, she’s sleeping through all the chaos outside.

However she has squirmed herself completely sideways in her bassinet. Top of her head and her feet are touching the side walls. Her face is clear, she’s not at risk for suffocating or falling out or anything. She’s just….. sideways.

Are we moving her?

EDITED TO CLARIFY: She’s still on her back. She’s just like wedged herself across the short side instead of comfortably using the full length of the bassinet. It was less of a “is she safe?” question and more of a “how are you comfortable doing this?”

Anyone struggling to get your baby to stop trying to suffocate themselves?

I’ll get her in the ring sling, have a comfy & correct fit, and she’ll *insist* on smashing herself face first into my chest. Gently move her head so her airway is clear? Turns right back into my chest. Completely conked out asleep with her head nicely to the side? Nope, gonna turn myself back into mommy’s chest.

Anyone else?
