So Naina's a heavy sleeper, when we can get her to sleep. She also has some unusual, err, styles for sleeping.
I'd have thought the both arms by the sides method works for most babies. Or across the chest. We encountered a baby at the hospital that liked to sleep on his chest, with his arms tucked into brace himself. Truly unusual to look at, especially when the baby was in a humidifier as well.
Here she demonstrates the normal sleep posture:
That was when she was a week old.
A few days later she demonstrated the developing unusual posture:
Note one hand up out of wrap and already rejecting dummy. Actually her rejecting the dummy is good, but sometimes I wish she'd take it just to help her soothe herself to sleep at night. Damn smart neonate.
Next the posture is 75% there:
I've posted this before, but note the one arm up / one arm down posture. She would actually do the whole I'm a little teapot thing while she slept, one arm by her side and the other pointing, John Travolta style above her head.
Haven't grabbed a photo yet, but she's now found a way of falling asleep with her hand on her face. One off, yeah coincidence. It is most nights now. Apart from the laughing in her sleep (still freaky) this is a little Naina'ism we're all getting used to.
She also knows how to display her displeasure. Too many photos I think.

Hehe. She's channeling Warnie there.
