So I'm having a hard day today, my son wants to eat pretty much every hour and I'm not getting much rest. And when he falls asleep I'll put him down and he won't stay asleep. This hasn't been a problem until today. I also believe that I have a clogged duct in my left breast, could he not be getting enough milk therefore making him not sleep? Before today he would eat and then sleep for at least 2-3 hours. I don't know if something is wrong or if this is normal. He turned a week old today. I took his temperature and it was 99.2, is this normal? He also has acid reflux but I burp him in between breasts, give him gas drops, and don't lay him flat for 15 minutes after eating but he's still spitting up a bunch of times. Someone help me out please.

Another thing, you could try baby wearing. It sounds like he just wants to be close to his mama while he’s sleeping which is also completely normal.

Everything sounds pretty normal for a 1 week old. Babies can cluster feed whenever they’re going through a growth spurt, so don’t be concerned about that. Nurse him on the side where you’re clogged. Babies have a powerful suck so he may be able to unclog it. Taking a hot shower & massaging that area can also help. Sounds like you’re doing everything right for the reflux. It’s frustrating but you’re doing what he needs👍🏼

Alright. I thought cluster feeding was only supposed to happen during a certain time slot during the day and not all day long. He's been like this since 6:30 this morning @glencoco

@babykk9716, I had to take an extremely hot shower and massage it super hard to get mine unclogged.

He’s probably just cluster feeding because he’s growing. It’s normal. Keep feeding him on the left to help unclog the duct.

@db413 I tried the warm cloth thing a couple of times and it didn't do much good. I tried massaging it while he ate on that side it didn't really help. And now I took my bra off cuz I've had it on constantly since sunday, to see if maybe my bra is the problem.

It could be that youre clogged on one side. Try and warm cloth and massage on it. As for his temp. Try and keep him in just a diaper if you can to keep him cool and see if that helps. Reflux there’s not much you can do about the spitting up. You’re doing everything you should in that department. It’s horrible to deal with. But he will grow out of it.
