Although this arching is likely related to reflux, neurological damage should not be overlooked. I would recommend a call to the baby's healthcare provider (with mom's permission) for a discussion of findings.
<<<At the breast, bub is tipping head back so far that mum can't imagine it's
comfortably let alone by choice. In fact bub fights being straightened.
Bub will also chose this position when not feeding.>>>
<<<<Bub is also arching and pulling back but while clamping on breast>>>
