My LO will only sleep on his side. If I try to put him lying on his back, he will be wide awake. Is it normal? My mother been wanting him to sleep straight on his back but I think is okay to let him sleep any positions he wants. As long as he is comfortable.

Your mother is right. To reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, healthy babies should always be put to sleep on their back -- not their stomach or sides. ... The safest sleep position for babies is on their back.
