16 week old constantly grazing - I'm going mad! Advice needed please

I have a 16 week old DS who just won't stop grazing at the moment. he feeds for about 10 minutes every hour and i can't persuade him to have longer feeds less frequently. Last night was horrendous, especially as in the evening he had 2 very substantial feeds so i thought he was building up for a good night's sleep. i am worried about my supply. I never had this with my DD so am feeling a little confused to say the least.
Any tips or advice welcome please!

Hi Jetgirl, no advice really, but wanted to bump for you. Has your ds just started feeding this way or has he always been a grazer? If the former, perhaps this is a growth spurt and he's feeding frequently to boost your supply? If so, might only last a few days.

Thanks chasingbutterflies. He was a grazer at first, but settled down to more regular feeds after a few weeks. I am hoping it's a growth spurt. Last night was another long night and I was sobbing with exhaustion by 7am this morning.

Anyone got tips on how I can boost supply?
