Possible for LO to be hungry nonstop at night?

Hi all,
My LO is about 5 weeks old and EBF. We usually nurse every 2-3 hours.
The last night or two he seems to eat and then cry when done. Or sometimes he will nurse, fall asleep and then cry when he wakes up. He also spits up after almost every meal usually just a little. We check diapers and try to console otherwise but I have ended up offering him to nurse usually and it's been about every hour during these times. Is this okay? I don't want to overfeed - could he really be hungry?

...and then supplementing after if baby is still super fussy. The nursing sessions between 11pm-4am are the most important ones because that is the time of day the breastfeeding hormone (prolactin) is resetting itself and preparing your breasts to produce for the next day. Best of luck!
@Kissel348, did you make it through cluster feeding/wonder week ok?
