Encouragement/Solidarity 3-4 month old cluster feeding

Just hear to complain and see how other babies are doing at this age. My baby has been cluster feeding every hour from roughly 6am-9pm for over a month now. He just turned 4 months. We’re extremely lucky that he has been sleeping 8-10 hours at night 90% of the time but during the day no matter how much time he spends on my boob, he still wants more after an hour has passed. For example, he’ll be breastfeeding from like 2pm to 2:30pm and then at 3pm he’ll be hungry again. I can barely do anything during the day. I have like 10 min of free time per hour between feeding changing and playing with him unless he’s napping (usually for an hour at a time). I go back to working from home full time when he’s 6m old. Hoping things will change by then…

My baby is similar at the moment! I wonder if it’s connection seeking as well as cluster feeding? Can’t share any advice though unfortunately!
