Default Growth Spurts

How long do they usually last? I think DS is going through one and about the last 4 nights he hasn't slept through the night 9:30p-4a when he was sleeping 9:30p-7:30a and he is constantly feeding. He will will also latch on and then pull off while taking my nipple with him. It hurts bad, I about jumped out of the chair when he did it the other night. But, he will be on and off, on and off, I will just burp and put him down thinking he is done and he immediately sucks on his fist like he's hungry, slurping and smacking sounds and all, but after a few minutes he starts to cry. So, I try to feed him again thinking he is still hungry and it starts all over. I feel like he gets maybe 2 "good" feedings, when he stays latched and I feel a let-down, other than that it's just all over the place. Do you think it's just a growth spurt? Any thoughts? Thanks.
