Frequent night feeds 5MO

My 5 month old boy has never been a good sleeper, however at 4 months sleep regression hit and he's been waking up every 2 hours for the past 6 weeks to feed (breastfeeding). During the day he feeds every 3 to 4 hours. Is there anything I can do to extend his feeding time during the night? I'm so sleep deprived!! Is it perhaps time to start weaning him?

It’s completely normal. Can you feed lying down and bedshare to maximise your sleep?

He sounds hungry. Definitely time to wean him.

Is he having a proper feed? Or is he using it/ depend on it to go to sleep? If he's going 3/ 4hours during the day then he's doing well

I started feeding more In the day and not offering a feed at night until it had been 4 hours since last one.
However baby now still wakes but not for food she just wakes anyway.

My 8 mo still does this. Actually often wakes even more often than that I'm afraid. It won't be forever that's all I can say (this is my third baby).
