Baby pushing his face into the wall of the crib

At night my 12 weeks baby moves to the side of the crib and pushes his face against the side wall of the crib (Tutti Bambini cozee). He has been doing it for weeks now, up until now he was pushing his forehead mostly, however recently he started to push his hole face and it scares me. I move him back into the middle of the crib but 5 min later he is back at the side of the crib. I keep checking throughout the night and he is breathing freely and from time to time he turns his head other direction which is reassuring but still scary.

Googling suggests it to be a common thing that babies do. So if your baby did it, is this something they grow out of at some point?

I am thinking if I should buy another crib that has mesh walls as our Tutti bambini has material at the level of his head. If this is a temporary thing that is supposed to finish soon I guess I could continue checking and moving him at night.

Thank you

Hoping this thread gets seen as my 16 week old does the exact same thing, I place her back down and face up and she wriggles to the side and pushes her face up against the side

My baby did this. She’s almost 6 months and doesn’t do it anymore but I’m not sure when she stopped. She still likes something against her face when she sleeps though but prefers a muzzy now. She rubs it on her cheek and over her eyes when she’s going to sleep.

We have a chicco next to me.
