A. Hello New Mom, Even my baby used to sleep in the same position. But nothing to worry. Head doesn't get flat and also eventually they will learn to sleep by keeping the head straight or turn and sleep. sleeping by turning sides is also completely fine at 5 months. Infact it makes them sleep longer time than usual. Hope it helps
