Arching the back may also be a sign of reflux. Definitely talk to your child nurse about it.

I have felt like you have with my DD, except it was with BF, it was traumatising and stressful trying to feed her. I ended up crying everytime it came close to feed time because I knew what was going to happen. She had severe reflux what you are describing sounds like reflux to me- ask your doctor about it, he may need medication. Babies who are in pain can pain association with either the breast or bottle and it's very hard to relearn that it won't cause pain.

I went to the doctors and the doctor i saw said that because he isn't chucking up huge amounts (he chucks up a little bit but mostly swallows it) and is gaining weight then its of no concern and that he will grow out of it.

I might get a second opinion as if hes in pain i'd like something for it.

I can't believe your doc said that if he doesn't chuck heaps and is gaining weight its not reflux! Babies can go either way as many reflux bubs over feed to try and soothe their throats as for chucking that has nothing to do with how much pain or damage to their oesophageous. My dd had silent reflux so no chucking but major pain, screaming, crying, no sleep, feeding issues etc. at the beginning she stacked on the weight it was only at bout 6 months she started losing weight and dropped through the weight percentiles. My son on the other hand is a massive speeder but his reflux pain is nowhere near how bad my daughters was.
