No, only if a doctor or medical professional has told you to do so.
Babies are safest when placed on their back to sleep. Babies who are placed on their side have twice the risk of SUDI (SIDS and fatal sleeping accidents).
It is not a safe alternative to sleeping a baby on their back. The side position is unstable, and a baby is more likely to roll onto their front, making them at 9 times the risk of SUDI.
When a child can roll independently, they will often reposition themselves onto their side or front. This is considered safe in these children; however it is always best to roll them gently onto their back if you find them sleeping this way.
The safest place for a baby to sleep is on their back.
