Always latching

Its already 3 month plus my lo.. and he still latches almost every hour. Every time my lo latch, he only latch for 10mins. Tried waking him up, tickle everywhere. Touch his head chin back legs. He will ko. If he dun latch he dun sleep too. Is there any way i can have more time for my daily chores? I cant seem to nap too as he wakes up after an hour, sometimes 45mins. #pleasehelp #1stimemom

My 10 day old baby is the same. It's called cluster feeding. They seek comfort while latching. Not gonna introduce him to pacifier yet as he is a preemie and have high jaundice so I have no choice but to keep feeding him to lower down his jaundice. I also bottle feed him with fm but not as much as I latch him. When my husband takes over in the morning then he'll bottle feed him. I also pump my milk and freeze them then feed him also.
