What is the best way to lay a newborn?

The best way to lay a newborn is on their back on a firm, flat surface to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Ensure the sleeping area is free of soft bedding, pillows, and toys. It's also important to use a fitted sheet and maintain a comfortable room temperature. Always place the baby in a designated sleep space, like a crib or bassinet, specifically designed for infants.
