Okay, so I bought one of the sleeping baby molds from First Impression. The rubber mold doesn't look like a baby to me but I am willing to give it a try. How the heck do I do this?!?!?!

I didn't grease the mold. I add some Tylose to my fondant, get my fondant really loose by kneading in some Crisco, then press it in the mold. I stick them in the freezer for about 10 minutes, then pop them out. When they have totally dried, I brush some luster dust on for hair, and touch up the eyelashes, eyebrows, and lips with my Americolor markers.
I love how they turn out. Here's what mine look like when finished.

I love the mold too. you don't want to put grease/crisco in the mold because it may clump in the tiny crevices and blur the intricate details of this mold. I use Tylose like poohsmomma; but I used cocoa powder for the hair and highlights. Here's what mine looked like; http://cakecentral.com/gallery/1854909
HTH!

I agree with jones5cm, don't grease the mold...there's really no reason to, it will pop right out!
To start out, color your fondant/gumpaste the flesh color you want. Then make a skinny egg shape with your fondant. For me, I start by pushing the smaller end of the fondant "egg" into the head area, then the rest will follow, the torso, and finally the little butt and legs. I continuously squish the fondant/gumpaste into the mold for a minute or two until I feel like it should be in every crevice. I cut off any remaining fondant/gumpaste, then I put it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. When you take it out, pull back the mold and it should pop right out! For coloring/dusting, you can follow the (wonderful!) tutorial on CC...http://cakecentral.com/articles/683/how-to-make-a-gumpaste-baby-with-mold#more-683
Okay, so that is pretty much the same instructions I said...must be where I learned to make it! LOL!
Here are how mine turned out....

"People will understand that getting a piece of the cake is better than not getting any cake at all." - Not sure who says it, but I have to agree!

I agree, you don't need grease...I used flesh tone tinted gumpaste and froze it. I noticed that the freezing makes it slick and easy to pop out, it dries in seconds. I used a lil bit of cocoa powder for the hair. There is a close up in my pics on the baby shower cake if you want to see it. It was my first time and a lot easier than I thought it would be.

I actually spoke to the lady at First Impressions, she said to lightly dust the mold with corn starch. You then smoosh the fondant/gum paste into it really well. Make sure that the bottom is level. Freeze for about 20 minutes and then pop it out. Paint/dust at you like. Here are a couple of mine.

That last one is the first one I had ever done.

I agree with everyone else. No grease necessary, I actually made mine out of fondant. I shoved and shoved and shoved it in the mold making sure it would fill every tiny crevice. I then stuck it in the freezer for about 20 min. and it popped right out. I then dusted the hair with a little cocoa powder. Here is a link to mine: http://cakecentral.com/gallery/1962009

cakefairy03, I'm glad you posted here. I copied your bee baby but couldn't find it again to credit you in my pic description. Thanks!
I agree with the others, roll it like an egg, dust it and work it into the mold. The only thing I would add is to be verysubtle when adding hair/eyes/lips, etc. It's too easy to make it look like a baby with make-up.
Here's mine:
