We finally switched her reflux meds from Prevacid to a more potent Nexium and it made a huge difference. Now she only does those twisting, bobbing movements if I skip a dose or two or if she's over-tired. She is eating so much better and overall a happier baby.
A lot of babies arch or stretch there neck to try to elongate their esophagus because it somewhat reduces the acid relux through the esphageal opening.
My son does this, except he raises his head, as if stretching out his neck. It's scary. What medications did your dr prescribe? Im interested bc I would like to ask my sons pedi about them for my son.
As an update to this video....brain MRI & 1 hour video EEG normal. GI specialist ordered a pH probe to check reflux & bingo! Positive correlation with a drop in the pH in her esphagus with the bizarre movements. Babies do strange things when they are in pain. We're trying new reflux meds.

Hmmmm...my daughter had almost the same thing...she got several EEG's which turned out to be normal so they finally diagnosed benign myclonus.
Hope your daughter is doing well
