It’s summer you should remember that so use simple cotton clothes and don’t wrap him with towels and holding the baby by you or others in the house is also one reason.Breast feeding is very important feed him when ever he demands. Very frequently and urination more than 10 times is a good sign of feeding well and his hydration.

Keep the room cool, don’t cover him too much
Babies will adjust to the temperature slowly.

Could be due to extreme summer heat. Don't keep him covered up. Keep him in just one layer of clothing. Keep him in a well ventilated room. Feed adequately at frequent intervals. He should be passing urine atleast 8-10 times in a day
