What is the proper newborn sleep position?

Newborns should sleep on their back (supine position). The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) and Turkish pediatric associations recommend placing babies on their backs throughout the first year of life to minimize the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Side or prone positions significantly increase SIDS risk. When your baby is awake and supervised, you can do a few short periods of tummy time daily, but sleep should always be on the back, on a firm and flat mattress, without extra items like pillows, blankets, or toys.
