i take it you are bf? (if not, ignore the rest of this answer haha). it's really common for babies to feed a lot during the evening - this can be anything between 5pm and midnight and can go on for hours...
it is inconvenient but serves two purposes: it fills them up for more of the night, and it sort of 'puts their order in' for the next day - a way of telling your body how much milk to produce. if jamie wants to feed loads in the evening i suggest you try letting him (i used to spend 3 hours an evening doing this - yawn
) and you may find it helps him sleep better with a really full tummy.
the other thing is he may be doing this for comfort rather than being hungry or thirsty - this is much trickier and i still struggle with it. there is an idea that it isn't very productive for mummy to try to put him back to sleep as he will get mixed messages about bf, and will get frustrated about where/when he can feed - and mummy will probably feel bad. i used to find at night it was a lot easier for my husband to just pick elijah up, shoosh him for a while and put him down, if i tried it it turned into ww3. it depends on wether you are braver than me though!
i would try the cluster feeding first, then look to other solutions second
just my personal opinion though!
