8 week old baby won't let me sleep!

I'm just after a bit of advice really.

My DS is 8 weeks old and is a very clingy baby. I'm the day it's fine as he will just fall
asleep in the sling but night times are getting to be quite painful. He sleeps for 2 hours when we first go to bed then wakes for s feed (EBF) but then he's clingy and makes constant noises and murmurs if he's not attached to me which means I get next to no sleep.

Can anyone give me some advice? Is it worth trying a dummy at night? I really didn't want him to have one but I'm that tired I can hardly focus!

Dummy and swaddle. Saved my life with Dd. Second time round, DS just slept a bit better, just by chance.
