Feeding nearly every hour

Ann

LO is almost 4 months old and I'm pretty much feeding him every hour, maybe 2, during the day. I don't know how long it's been going on, but it's definitely not a new pattern. Maybe it's been like this all along and I'm just now realizing it since he's awake more. I feel like he just gets bored but then nothing will console him than getting back on the boob. He needs to nurse to go to sleep, and then nurses when he wakes up. I feel like I'm just perpetuating the pattern but don't know how to stop it. I've tried rocking, pacifier, walking around, but he'll just fuss and eventually scream until he gets the boob. Any advice would be so appreciated.
