A member asked:
Is it safe for 2 month old baby to sleep on his side?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The crib death rate for side sleepers is almost as bad as those who sleep on their belly.Sand bags or other devices designed to position babies on their side do not work. After the kid starts to roll over, i don't roll them back. However, i put them down on their back until a year.
