Is this the six week growth spurt?

My little boy who is 6 weeks 3 days has been a little off at night times for the past 4 nights. He used to wake every two hours but this week it’s changed to every 45 mins/hour! He does one stretch of sleep 9-12 and then it’s every hour he’s up for a feed. When he does drink he’s quite fussy too and if I don’t reach to him fast enough, he gets quite hysterical. Usually he moans a little and is calm before waking for a feed. During the day he is completely fine. It’s just around 5/6pm he gets fussy until about 9. Then he’s up most of the night feeding. So does this sound like a growth spurt? How long will it last? It’s been 4 nights of this and I now can’t believe I ever moaned he only sleeps for 2 hours at a time, I’ll take that over 45 minutes any day!!
