Waffle Baby's Origin Story
The first Waffle Baby sighting came on Feb. 25 when TikTok user @viidadari uploaded a video of her newborn son, Zuko, who looked like he had just woke up from a nap.
"Good sleep," the post reads.

In the video, we see Zuko slowing moving in his post-nap daze. He had been sleeping on some sort of textured mattress or pad.
It must have been a good nap, because the pattern of the mattress/pad is now hilariously indented on the side of his face.

The video has generated an eye-popping 91.7 million views since it was posted less than two weeks ago.

"Baby just had the best nap of his life and his life just started," TikTok user @jay_s819 commented.
The success of the original video, has led to follow-ups of Zuko's adventures with sleep. A video titled "Grumpy Waffle Baby" was uploaded earlier this week.
When he falls asleep in his carrier instead of the crib, Waffle Baby trades his facial pattern for a pose has him pointing one of his legs in the air.
He looks so peaceful. Who are we to judge?
