my baby is going to be 3 month old in two days. I have read about SIDS and also position asphyxiation. I am worried about my baby as she keeps crying when I try to put her to sleep on her back but she definitely loves it when I breastfeed her in a side lying position, then only she would stop crying and sleep peacefully on her side. Should I be worried? Is it safe to let her sleep on her side?

A. Namaste Mom, Sleeping on side is fine , with support on the other side, but if she is never very comfortable been on her back is a slight concern, would be precautionary to get her examined
