6 day old rolling onto side

I am a ftm and my 6 day old seems most comfortable sleeping on his side. From what I can see, he basically is recreating the position I think he has in the womb. His feet are quite chicken feet like and still very bent which I think is why he likes being more on his side. He's in a Moses basket. I am now nervous when I leave him there in case he rolls onto his front. I can't believe realistically he has the strength for that but equally I obviously am not going to risk it. Any ideas?

Just keep putting him on his back. If he rolls he rolls. My son did this, health visitor said as long as there’s nothing else in his cot it’s fine. Chances of rolling onto his front are very slim.
