Not if your baby is healthy. The old thinking was a baby wouldn't be strong enough to turn over and it would choke if it needed to vomit. This was proven wrong over time. It can even be dangerous for them to sleep on their stomachs because the sheets could hinder their breathing. The number of cot deaths each year is much less now that doctors are recommending keeping them on their backs.
