sometimes when my 7 week old baby eats he will arch his back and throw his head back. I know he is hungry, so what would cause him to do that?

Some babies do this when they have bad gas. Try pushing his knees up into his tummy and roll him side to side. This helped Rylie with her gas.

Probably reflux.- poor honey. Talk to the dr, but in the mean time, try feeding the baby sitting up, instead of laying down- that will help a little bit.

My daughter did the same thing while I nursed her and it turned out that she had acid reflux. She was on some medicine for a while and finally she grew out of it. It's a hard thing to watch your child go through since it is so uncomfortable.
