Feeding all night

Hi. My 16 week old is ebf. He has his last feed at 8ish then wakes at 11 then every 1.5 hours all night. I don't know of I am making him too dependent on me to fall asleep as I feed him as soon as he fusses because I don't want him to wake dh or Ds. He feeds very frequently in the day as well.

I am really struggling with the tiredness and feel like I am being a crap mum . He was only waking once a night at 3 until a week ago.

Is this just a phase or should I be trying to settle him without feeding? Some of the wakes are really short feeds. I am worried I am making the situation worse.

4 month sleep regression?

Sorry OP I'm not an expert, maybe someone else will be able to help more. Watching with interest.

Four month sleep regression is a right pain. Both of mine went from sleeping through to waking frequently and needing milk to settle them. Is will pass after a few weeks then back to sleeping as they were.
