My boy is 9 weeks and he started that at 8 weeks. He's now feeding every 2 hours during the day. I have the wonder weeks app and this is what it says:

Summary: the leap of Patterns

After having made this leap, a baby doesn't experience the world as a single, undividable entity anymore (like a bowl of soup, where everything blends together) and begins to differentiate regular patterns. For example: he discovers his hands. He looks surprised and turns them around. Many of the baby's automatic reflexes disappear, and he begins to do things purposefully. All the movements your baby makes still look very stiff to the outside world, as if he was a Pinocchio, a puppet on a string.
Do Remember: Most babies go through this leap around 8 weeks after full-term birth. This leap into the perceptual world of "patterns" is age-linked and predictable. It sets in motion the development of a whole range of skills and activities. However, the age at which these skills and activities appear for the first time varies greatly and depends on your baby's preferences, experimentation and physical development. For example, the ability to perceive patterns emerges at about 8 weeks and it is a necessary precondition for sitting with minimal support, but this skill normally appears anywhere from 2 to 6 months. Skills and activities are mentioned in this App at the earliest possible age they might appear so you can watch for and recognize them. (They may be rudimentary at first.) This way you can respond to and facilitate your baby's development.

Signs: the leap of Patterns

Soon you will recognize your baby's leap-making-behavior in a flash. As this is only the second leap your baby is going through, it may still be difficult to recognize. And yet, you'll notice, for sure.
Note the following signals:

Your baby wants to be entertained more often;
It will take a little longer before he is at ease with other people, especially those he does not see every day;
He wants to be breastfed all day long, but doesn't really drink;
He is craving for more physical contact;
He cries more and more easily
Note: Some babies show all symptoms, others just a few!
