should i let them eat this much?

I keep my boys on a 2 1/2 hour schedule for the most part.  Yesterday, though, they wanted to eat every 2 hours on the dot!!  I couldn't argue that.. they are growing and I can't say no to hungry boys!  But today, starting at 5am, it's looking like it might be every 1 1/2 hours!  They were hungry at 5am, 6:30am, and now they're feeding away tandem at 8am....  Pattern begins!

Would you let them eat that frequently?  Or try to stretch them out to at least 2 hours??

Definitely let them eat. They're going through a growth spurt and building your supply.

I would try to stretch it for my own sanity, but if they're hungry, I don't think there's anything wrong with feeding them more.

Mine went through this as well.  They ate every 2 hours up until 3.5 months!  Then, they finally moved to 2.5 hours.  We just moved to eating every 3 hours a few weeks ago (when they really started taking solids).

cluster feeding is normal and like everyone said, it will build your supply. i always enjoyed those early feedings because it was a break!  i would get the TV remote, my laptop and just enjoy it.
