Baby arch backward
My 6 month baby arch backwards and cry during breast feeding in inclined position. During night feeds are normal but during day it is very difficult. Also during bottle feeding or spoon feeding eighther milk or solid she prefers flat position because in inclined position she cries and arch back. Why is it so. When bottle feeding she doesn't take more than 50-60 ml and then she refuses. Then I spoon feed her.

The problem seems more with the overfeeding. U r giving her breast feed, top feed and solid food. When she is not hungry ,she arched back, by this way she shows her refusal for feeding.
Next Steps
stop bottle feed, always feed in upright position ,keep the time gap between two feeds.
Health Tips
Burping after each feed is also very important.
