Breastfeeding

Is this a growth spurt?

My 2 week old (born at 36 weeks) is normally so sleepy that we have to force him awake every 3 hours to eat. He's not a very efficient eater either, so I pump after each feeding and DH supplements with a BM bottle. 

Last night, he decided he wanted to eat every hour and a half or so and he seemed to nurse well for about a half hour. Could this be a growth spurt? I know they happen 7-10 days, but since he was early, maybe this is his first? Should I continue to pump after each feeding still? It feels like my breasts are softening after the feedings, so maybe he's getting enough?

Thanks!
