My baby is two months old. right from birth he archs his back severely. what do i do?

That is not unusual. It is often when they fuss, which is their only form of direct communication. Those are muscles they can control compared to those they use when older. By itself it does not mean anything bad, usually they are just mad about something and that is how they show it. If it spooks you have his doc examine him.
