Too many bf? Dd is a boob monster and I'm exhausted

Dd is 10 weeks old and I am ebf. She's thriving and gaining weight rapidly, but, she wants to feed hourly/hour and a half and has done since birth. At night she's much better and sleeps well but the days are relentless and I barely have any time for ds who's 2.5 y.o. By the time she's, fed, burped and changed (constant feeding = constant poop!) it's almost time to start again. I can't express and have DH feed her as she's refusing bottles. I never had this problem with ds who I bf'd for a year. He'd feed every 3-4 hours from birth and was a very happy baby but dd is nearly always agitated and rooting for boob. Do you think the constant feeding has just become a bad habit? Does she really need it? She's already nearly doubled her birth weight and is a proper chunky monkey!
