6 week old feeding help

My 6 week old ds has been breastfed from the start with a few teething issues (he is gaining weight up to now)
I had a lot of milk which was making him choke & take too much air in but that seems to have settled.
He had tongue tie but this has now been sorted & latch is fine.

The issue has been the last couple of days I can't seem to keep him on the boob for more than a couple of minutes without a lot of fighting & fussing. My boobs aren't being drained properly & I'm getting engorged again! ( I know how to sort that)

So in short how can I encourage him to stop feeding for such a short time (every hour 😴😣)

I have a 6 week old too, we're in a similar situation dd is feeding much shorter time but more frequently... I pump out excess milk and found baby latches on well
