Side Sleeping and Circulation

Hi guys! We've got a 5 month old who is a great sleeper, but LOVES to be on his side. He throws one arm over his eyes and his other arm is kind of tucked underneath his body on the mattress.
Now this might be a ridiculous question but... is it ok for him to squish his arm all night? a) I know when I sleep on one side too long it starts to hurt my shoulder/my arm falls asleep so it got me thinking about circulation for the baby?

    Our little one is 6 months old and is a side sleeper as well. I’ve had the same concern but it seems to be fine. I think that if they were uncomfortable or began to lose circulation in their arms they would move into a different position.
