Your boobs don't ever truly empty, your body always carries on producing! It sounds like he's going through a growth spurt and cluster feeding. My son does it sometimes, one time I didn't even put a bra on that day there was no point!!
Just keep feeding him! You may feel that your boobs are soft and empty but they're not, he's deliberately doing it to tell your body to make more as he needs it, building your supply. He won't starve, just keep nursing him as often as you can and you'll find it settles down. It can take your body a few days to catch up with the extra feeds but don't worry, all normal

He's still wetting nappys fairly regularly. Just worry that he's not getting enough cos hes still acting starved lol poor thing. His latch is fine, no different from how it usually is. I think he's doing a lot of suckling without swallowing so tried a dummy but won't have a bar of it. He was up every hour from 3am til about 11am this morning so im exhausted already

Yea, there were days were I felt I was "empty", but keeping him on helps the whole "supply/demand"- the more I kept him on, the more I was producing.
He clusterfed for about two weeks- where my boobs NEVER engorged because he was eating so much, lol.

As long as he's having wet nappies he's absolutely fine. Like I said I had a few days like that, DS fed so much I just stuck the TV on and sat there in my pants! It means I could just switch him side to side, it was the only thing that would stop him crying!
Babies do that, just keep feeding him, it won't last long, just think of all the extra milk you're gonna produce because if the cluster feeding   just keep burping after to make sure he doeant get windy. You might get greeny poops too where he is getting a lot of fore milk but its normal just nurse in demand, even if he damands it every hour or even every 10 minutes
