it's not unusual for babies to go through phases like this - hopefully it will pass iwth a bit of time. sometimes they're so interested in the world around them they don't want to stop and feed. at night, however, things are boring anyway, soo.....

My DD did this! She was far too interested in the world to settle down for a feed, then at night she couldn't get enough. The longest she went was 9 hours with absolutely nothing when we went to a picnic. She was too busy playing and wouldn't accept me trying to feed her.

I just started to offer a lot more. All the time. And when we were at home, I'd take her to a different room where it's quiet with no distractions. Even if she only had a little bit, at least it was something! Then I'd offer again an hour later. The phase didn't last long. Hang in there, hopefully he settles into an easier pattern for you soon.
