This article states that esophageal pH monitoring has demonstrated that  
infants have significantly less GER when placed in the prone position for  sleep 
-- but that supine is still preferred because of the decreased risk of  SIDS.  
 
Apparently someone has already done the study -- so we now have someone  
verifying what we are seeing since the back to sleep campaign.
 
Tried to copy the salient points into the e-mail, but you just can't do  it 
well from a PDF file.  So here's the URL:
