It works for me and helps keep the focus on the subject. Nice shot.

I have to go against the minions here. I think you could do with about a quarter less negative space. Very well done though.

I have another idea if you do not mind. Since we in western culture have our eyes travel from left to right, try flipping horizontally 180 degrees. It will have a more natural flow to it and I bet the negative space will have a more relaxing feel to it.
Just a thought.

Exactly what I was going to suggest

It works. You could have gone further. You have almost the whole head in the frame. I think you could have cropped a little more of the head out keeping all of the negative space. Maybe pushing the eyes closer to 1/3 from the right instead of the temple.

On the other hand, that would remove a lot of the tension that exists in the shot. Even a baby dreams. As is, we wonder what the dream is. If you reduce the tension by flipping, then it may become too peaceful and lose viewer interest.
But try it and see. The left right thing is valid in the west and is used a lot in film and theater to create excitement for an entrance or to slip something on stage without attracting attention.
