3 month old suddenly waking at night

Hello everyone, I wonder if you can help. Up until about 2 weeks ago my ds who's ebf would sleep from about 10 to 6. Now however, he's waking at 2 then 5 then 7 taking from both boobs every time. In fact he takes from both sides at every feed sometimes still crying at the end

I don't have any sort of routine, I let him feed and sleep when he wants throughout the day. He doesn't sleep much, the odd hour here and there and he fights it most times.

He's always been ahead of the curve so maybe I've got the four month sleep regression early?

Sleep regression, growth spurt, because he can... Who knows. He's still small and settling into his own routine. I would just go with the flow, it could change again tomorrow!

Mine cluster fed at that age. Park yourself on the sofa on the evening with drinks and snacks and just feed feed feed. Mine would feed for 6-7 hours! Stuff them full of milk and they often go a bit longer at night
Not much point in a routine at this age per se, but keeping day fun and night quiet is good, and maybe the beginnings of a bedtime of bath/pjs/bed.
Mine also upped his milk consumption hugely at 3 months. Just feed and feed, it'll all change again soon
