My son is 4 days old, he is extremely hard to wake up or keep awake once latched. We stimulate with tickling diaper change(which doesn’t phase him)cold wrap on his back and even tried unlatching to switch breasts. But he just doesn’t want to eat.
Any advice and similar situations?
When I just had colostrum he fed A LOT and would barely sleep. And not my milk is in at full force and he won’t even eat. When I do finally get him latched he barely feeds for 5-10 mins in each or maybe 15 mins in one. Before literally knocking out.

strip him down to feed so he is cool also burp him frequently. Has he gained his birth weight? My son wasn't gaining well so after a feed I expressed and then fed what I had (maybe 20mil - I'm Aussie so not sure about ounces with a syringe), he wouldn't take a bottle.
My girl was doing that, too. She's 3 weeks now and seems to have grown out of it. Bottom of the feet tickling seemed to work best. I also offered it any time I could if they were awake then I put them to the boob even if they didn't act hungry
How often does he eat? How many wet diapers a day?
My son was like that. Wed sit there with a super cold wash cloth and put it on his back every few mins, and he eventually just got used to it and didnt even care. I ended up having to just feed him when he felt like it rather than on a schedule. He was a determined sleeper, and if he wanted to sleep, nothing in the world was gonna stop him lol
