Hello dear,
Welcome to HCM. With his snoring he should sleep on the left side. It should help the snoring and more oxygen will come in lungs. The foam is probably related to nasal drip, i think child can not swallow nasal mucous .Snoring is unusual for 16 month baby he should have checked by your doctor.
Kind regards
