How can I encourage my baby to feed longer?

My baby is nearly 11 weeks old and EBF. He takes small feeds of around 5-10 minutes then is looking for more between half an hour to an hour later all during the day, at night it's every 2-3 hours, I have used a breastpump just to see how much milk I have and can easily get 5oz from one side so know I have enough there for him to take longer feeds, he is my third breastfed baby and the other 2 weren't like this. Any advice? I'm knackered 😂

Not sure how you can get him to feed for longer. Have you tried the usual stuff like feeding without distractions? That’s probably not easy though if it’s your third Smile

Do you think Breast Compressions might help? LO won’t necessarily feed for longer but may take more milk.
