There are several possible reasons why a child may throw their head back during sleep: 1. It may be a natural position for the child, especially if they are tired or sleeping very deeply. Some children find this position more comfortable for sleeping. 2. The child may throw their head back due to discomfort or pain, for example, if they have a toothache or are experiencing discomfort in their neck or back. 3. Some children may throw their head back due to reflux or other stomach issues, which can be exacerbated in a horizontal position. If you notice that your child often throws their head back during sleep and it concerns you, it is recommended to consult a pediatrician to discuss and determine the possible causes of this behavior.

Well, the pose itself is peculiar, it might be comfortable like that, or it's about the muscle tone.

I experienced the same thing for a while, then it passed. I didn't pay much attention to it.

My daughter also used to sleep like that all the time. I was worried at first, but then I got used to it, and eventually, it passed. I think she found that position comfortable.
