This sounds unusual, but may or may not be normal. If it is worrisome to the parents they could have baby checked out by a developmental peds specialist or maybe a peds neurologist. I don't think the evaluation would be uncomfortable or invasive for the baby. It makes me think of *possibly* hypothyroidism or even autism (just throwing out ideas). I don't think breastfeeding has anything to do with it. Laurie Wheeler, IBCLC, MN, RN New Orleans Louisiana, s.e.
