Mi bebé está literalmente mega profundo
Spanish to English

Slang
This is from a text message from an Ecuadorian father, talking about his young child to the child's mother.
"Mi bebé está literalmente mega profundo" [space is in the original]
"Ósea lo bese consentí pero sigue en su sueño"
The first sentence is perhaps incomplete. My best guess is: "My baby is literally [sleeping] so deep" (the space is in the original, and maybe indicates a missing word or something). Any thoughts?
How would you translate the second sentence? I have it as: "I mean, I kissed him and cuddled [spoiled? comforted?] him but he's still sleeping"

Selected
The baby's sound asleep/ flat out
Another option, fitting in with the informal tone
The baby's sound asleep, I gave him a kiss but he's dead to the world
Not sure about the "consentí" part, seems odd.

My baby has fallen into a very deep sleep.
Not very literal, but I think it's the meaning.
Discussion
any way the idea of deep sleep is obvious as he says after that babe kept dreaming, mega profundo = highly deep dream
Ósea = o sea, indeed, no bone here, lol
bese =besé
consentí =con senti(miento), muy probablemente (well seen, @phil )
(3 words all with wrong accentuation ´)
