I just want to throw in the towel..

I second the no chucking reflux. Dd2 at silent reflux with arching back and screaming non stop she wasn't a clucky baby. Sorry I didn't out two and two together

Just another idea in case it's not reflux ... if you can, try a chiropracter. Someone trained to manipulate (in the chiropractic sense) infants can make the world of difference. From memory, your DS had a really fast birth - as did DS3. It might stand to reason that he's got a pain in the neck (or similar). DS3's speedy delivery appears to have had an impact on his cranials and pelvis. After a few weeks of chiropractic care, he's gone from a shocking feeder on my right breast to being pretty good most of the time. The chiro also helped DS3's horrid wind pain (colic) and his mega chucking after a feed.

Good luck - feeding a new-ish baby can be very, very stressful so try not to be too hard on yourself or your bub. xx

Reflux definitely doesn't have to have chucking as a side effect. (Not does chucking mean reflux. Happy chucker a come to mind) Many babies have silent reflux, and a sign like arching back shouldn't be ignored, as it often means bub is in pain. Definitely get a second opinion. Perhaps see if you can get DP to record what he is doing during a feed so you can show the gp rather than trying to explain it too. DD had some problems as a bub, and they were brushed off the first time I mentioned them, cos they weren't happening right at that time. So I recorded something to show and was taken seriously after that.

Thanks ladies. I will have to go back and get a second opinion as he does get very wound up and cries as though he is in pain

I'm still yet to hear back about his specialist appointment regarding his hips. So i might chase that up too.

Can you try feeding him a bit more upright if he doesn't want to lie down?
