Pulling and tugging at the nipple

I need some advice please.

My little man is 2 months now and breastfeeding as been going wonderfully. But lately (And mostly at night) He pulls and tugs at my breast as if he is not getting enough to eat and it's usually the left breast. But milk always comes out when I manually express it. So I'm pretty sure it's not supply issues.

Is there a growth spurt around this time that I am not aware of? I read in Kellymom.com about growth spurts but there was no mention of them happening at 2 months. He also cluster feeds during the night. Last night he slept from midnight-3am then was up every 1 1/2 hour. I'm exhausted. he is also a very light sleeper so every little noise wakes him up. I'm going back to work in 3 weeks and my shifts are going to be 4am-1pm. I just hope he can sleep for longer stretches at night.
