A:There's no doubt that the best position to put a baby to sleep is on his back as this is known to reduce the risk of cot death.So my advice would be to always put a baby to sleep in this position.
Once he can roll over by himself,usually at about five months,your baby may choose to manoeuvre onto his side and there's no need to continually reposition him.The risk of cot death has significantly reduced by this age anyway.
The worry about sleeping on his side is that he could roll forward onto his stomach overnight.Your health visitor may say it's OK,but I can't.
