What is the best position for 5 week old baby to sleep in.i know the yummy is off limits, so is it safer on the side or back? possible reflux baby

Back: Studies have shown side sleeping is nearly as risky as belly sleeping, since most will not stay in that position even with weighted sand bags/swaddling.
