A. Hi Yes absolutely because by this age mostly kids can learn to roll and they pick up their own side to sleep on but mostly at this age which is about more than three months kids prefer sleeping on the tummy because that’s the most comfortable posture for lunch but in other ways also if your child is sleeping on the side it’s fine
