My boy is 10 months old on Saturday and these past 2/3 weeks he’s started sleeping on his front, literally on his face, obviously we put him to bed on his back with feet at bottom of the cot but he will soon enough turn onto his front, I am getting barely any sleep as I am constantly having to turn him back onto his back and off of his face.
Are there any suggestions how to stop him from going all the way onto his face? He used to lay on his side but now seems to prefer laying on his face 🙃

If he can roll both ways / get himself in and out of the position then you can leave him. Or just move his face to the side to show him what to do x

I think the placing them on their back and feet to the bottom of the cot is particularly for under 6 months and when they're not mobile. If he can move himself about and roll well you can leave him to sleep however he is comfortable. The lullaby trust have an online contact form that you can ask for specific advice which I've found really helpful.

If he can move himself to that position, and doesn't have any developmental concerns or medical issues, then it's fine. He will move if he needs to! Nothing you can do to stop it, he's just getting comfy. It's not safe to add anything to the cot like positioning cushions
