im confused- which position is the safest?

Question

I just read its not good for newborn babies to sleep on side cause they can roll on stomach, its the safest to sleep on their back. But my medical book about babies says they dont recommend sleeping in their back specialt after feeding; after feeding always put baby to sleep on their right hip/side. 
Now im seriously confused. What should i do, what truly is the best n safest way specialy after feeding so they wont suffocate on their own burp?!

Answer

Last week, the american academy of Pediatrics updated their safe sleep guidelines and they emphasize back sleeping.
I read the report and they say that even babies with reflux should sleep on their backs and not elevated as they have the mechanisms to clear their airways even if they vomit.
They say the only time it's acceptable not to put them on their backs is if the risk of death due to reflux is greater than their risk of dying of sleep-related issues (basically if advised by a doctor).
6 years ago with #1 when he had reflux, we were told to put pillows under the mattress. This has now changed but the above is the most recent recommendation.

I always let my son sit up in his chair for a good half hour before putting him to sleep on his back, but I sometimes turn his head either side

Answer

I think back sleeping is always recommended... I was told to put a rolled up small towel under the end of her crib mattress she was slightly evaluated but it was only slightly. But that may have changed now

Back to sleep is the most current recommendation to lower sids risk...though if baby can turn to the side by themselves you dont have to keep rolling them onto their back
