Breastfeeding

Unlatching??

I have a 6wk old that was doing great at first, here lately he only latches for 5-7mins then unlatches & will not re-latch!! I have to switch him sides, then after that 5-7mins SOMETIMES he will return back to latch on the other side, sometimes he won't...He is gaining weight, but he wants to eat every hour and a half to two hours which is just a lot for me to handle. I feel like all I do is feed him! I am assuming it's because he is only getting the "fore" milk, not staying long enough for the "hind" milk so he's not staying full. Any suggestions/advice/input??

Also, when do you or should I pump? I have tried doing right after feeding but don't get anything!

Thanks for the help!
