I hope someone can help

My DS (9wks) generally feeds 3hrly during the day (with a sleep between feeds 30min-1 1/2hrs) and cluster feeds before bed (8 feeds in 24hrs). Last feed 7-8pm, goes to bed 8-9pm, then feeds 12-1, 3-4 and 6-7. How do I go about extending the time between the feeds (more sleep time)? I do generally feed him if he is waking and making all his hungry signs (if I let him wake completely he is very hard to get back down after a feed - wants to party).

Thank you

I am not sure if this will help but my baby is 7 weeks old and am following a routine from a book by Gina Ford (UK). Currently only waking once in the night between 3 and 4 am.
