Health & Safety active sleep or something else??

I will post the video below. I am a ftm and i’m very paranoid and anxious all the time. Looking for reassurance or if I should call her Dr

Looks like sleep to me. My newborn used to do that too where he would push his head forward and shrug his shoulders. Newborns are loud and active sleepers, they do the weirdest things. My son also used to squeal, cry out, lift his arms up, etc.

Always go to the docs to rest your heart! But babies do all sorts of weird things I swear. One thing that I used to do, is any repetitive motive I would put my hand on them, if it stopped with a touch I wasn't worried.

Just active sleep from the looks of it. Our little one would giggle while sleeping, but she'd also snort laugh which often sounds like choking! Enjoy the goofy faces while you can :)

My baby turned into a demon whenever he’d sleep when we first brought him home. Bro made any and every noise, scared me every night. He’s 4 months old now and mostly sleeps pretty quietly now.
