No need to worry it will get resolved soon. The baby is just trying to fill up the tummy sufficiently and sleeping for maximum time it is called as cluster feeding. This is normal and vomiting will also occur no need to worry.

At 35 days of age, babies often go through periods of cluster feeding and may have shorter sleep stretches, especially during growth spurts. Frequent latching, feeding for short durations, and waking soon after can be normal. Small amounts of milk or curd-like spit-up after feeds are also common if your baby is otherwise comfortable, feeding well, and gaining weight.
Next Steps
Continue feeding on demand. Try burping your baby after each feed and keep him upright for 20–30 minutes afterward. Observe for adequate urine output (at least 6 wet diapers/day), good weight gain, and whether the spit-up is effortless rather than forceful. Schedule a visit with your pediatrician to assess feeding technique, weight gain, and to rule out issues such as significant reflux or breastfeeding difficulties if symptoms persist.

Hello
This is normal. Babies often go through periods of cluster feeding, frequent spitting up, and night-time awakenings during growth spurts.
Ensure your baby is latching properly during feeds, hold your baby upright for 20–30 minutes after feeding, and burp them well after each feed.

If weight and other vitals are normal, nothing to worry about. This is a temporary phase. Visit a pediatrician for check up and confirmation

Greetings
At 35 days old, your baby is likely experiencing a normal 6-week growth spurt and cluster feeding phase.
Frequent latching and short sleep bursts are common ways newborns naturally increase your milk supply.
Spitting up transparent liquid or curdled milk is typical because an infant's digestive valve is still maturing.
To help reduce the spit-up, keep him upright for 20 to 30 minutes after every feeding.

At this age, many babies go through phases of cluster feeding, where they want to feed very frequently and sleep only for short periods. Small amounts of curd-like or clear milk spitting after feeds are also common and usually represent normal reflux if the baby is otherwise active, feeding well, passing urine normally, and gaining weight.
Try to:
* Burp the baby after every feed.
* Keep the baby upright for 20–30 minutes after feeding.
* Avoid overfeeding and allow the baby to come off the breast naturally.
* Ensure a proper latch if breastfeeding.
Pediatric evaluation is needed if the baby has poor weight gain, forceful/projectile vomiting, green vomit, blood in vomit or stool, fever, difficulty breathing, persistent lethargy, fewer than 6 wet diapers/day, or inconsolable crying.
