I'm glad the comments are about startling you baby awake by accident. They reframed my original thought that the meme was referencing SIDS, which is a bit dark but also a real concern. Not sure the traditional advice of always putting your infant on their back is still the best, so please consult your pediatrician.
That’s the current advice in US: back is best. Nothing in the crib with kiddo (no blanket etc).
As a side note, the random wake ups are like a built in anti-SIDS feature in a way.
