10 week old entertainment, sleep and feeding!!

My 10 week old DS has suddenly gone from eat sleep poop repeat to not wanting to sleep as much and I’m a bit lost!!

I understand wake windows change and feeding needs too but I’m a bit overwhelmed.

Generally DS wakes around 7am for a feed then straight back to sleep for about 2/3 hours. From then on it’s all over the place until 4 ish when he demands feeding every 2 hours, if not more frequently, until bed between 10/11pm when he sleeps right through until 7am again. I know we’re lucky he’s sleeping 7-8 hours at night but the day is such a mess.

DS HATES the bouncy chair. He’ll tolerate the play mat for 5/10 mins but only if one of us fusses over him. He’ll lie in his Moses and kick for a bit but quickly turns from happy smiling boy to crying!
He’s gone off lying on me or DH. He’s even stopped sleeping in the car which was always a winner!!

He does like loud rhythmic music to fall asleep to and Ewan the Sheep for bed time!!

I feel like we spend most of the day trying to work out what position or activity isn’t going to upset him!!! It’s exhausting!!!

Any guidance out there? Should I be stricter with set routines at 10 weeks?
