Side sleeping

When my mom watches my 2 week old she puts her to sleep on her side and uses blankets on either side of her to keep her from rolling over. My mom said she did this with all my sisters and I when we were babies. I know doctors tell you to put baby to sleep on their backs so does anyone else practice side sleeping? My mom claims it helps her with gas and so on. Thanks!
