Icon9 I need help!

Okay, so I'm running on fumes today. Roughly 3 hours of sleep since yesterday and I'm about to collapse.

Joshua won't sleep longer than 30 minutes. He's tooting all the time, but it isn't painful for him when he does toot. I keep thinking that he's just super hungry and I'm not making enough to sustain him, but I haven't given in to giving him a bottle of formula yet today.

I did try to give him 2 oz of formula last night but it didn't make a difference whatsoever in his behavior. So that leads me to think he's not really hungry just needing a paci or security blanket or something...

Basically he'll sleep when he's in my arms, but when I put him down in his bassinet about 15-30 minutes later he wakes up screaming and hunching up his legs.

I'll nurse him from each side but honestly they don't feel like there's anything in them because I've been nursing him every hour damn near since yesterday afternoon. They don't feel very full but yet when I try to express I'm getting milk out of them. I don't own a pump.

I'm so exhausted and on the verge of tears. I just can't figure out what is wrong. This cannot be cluster feeding can it? For over 24 hours now?

He's wetting and pooing just fine and when I hold him he's okay and he'll let me put him in the bouncy seat for a brief period of time; but then he starts screaming and rooting around like he's hungry again.

I wonder if he's colicy? Every now and then he'll hunch up his legs when he's screaming.

Help me please, I'm in major need of advice.
