My son slept in this odd position almost from day one with his head tilted 
back as far as possible.  Only when sleeping did he put his head in that 
position.  He was also a huge snorer!   Ends up he was treated for reflux at about 
one year of age and also had his gigantic adenoids removed at 1 1/2 years old.   
Luke is now 2 1/2 years old.  Once the adenoids were removed he was able to 
breathe normally, no more snoring and kept his head in a normal position for 
sleeping.  I learned about the term sandifers when I was reading about GERD and 
adenoid issues.

(Although our insurance, Independant Health, is now in a fight with all of 
our specialist physicians that Luke has seen at our Children's Hospital and will 
no longer cover services for any Indpt. Health clients.  They conveniently 
changed this coverage this Jan. 1st after most people have had their open 
enrollment time in the Fall.  These are pretty much the only pediatric guys in town 
- urolgists, cardiologists, ENTs, etc.  (Dare I say - a good story for Michael 
Moore's next film on healthcare and insurance companies!)  I'm deciding how 
to wage my own battle against them!
