To expect a bit more from nearly 6mo?

Sleep wise I'm a bit shattered.

DS is EBF.
We've been through the 4month regression where he was up every 45mins sometimes.
He's teething which might be a cause ATM but I don't really know what to expect anymore.

He has a nap around 10am never more than an hour usually less, up to now used to have another around 12-1ish for about 1-2hours (but seems to have dropped it over the last couple of days) and then another little nap about 3.30pm for about 30-40mins.

So last nap never finishes later than 4.30pm usually more like 3.30-4.
He goes to bed at 7 and is usually up for a feed about 9.45pm then another about 2hrs later and then is on and off - between 12am - 4.30am he can be up 4/5 times not always wanting a feed.
Occasionally he wakes up fully between 4-5.30am and laughs at me like he finds my zombie face the funniest thing ever and then goes back to bed until about 7.30/8am.

I can't remember last time I got more than 2 hours undisturbed sleep Sad

AIBU to feel that he should be able to sleep for longer than 2 hours at a time?

Thanks for more advice.

Yes we're in the same room he's in a snuzpod next to the bed. When he wakes up I unzip it and feed without picking him up and then zip it back up when I'm done so it doesn't feel like co sleeping.

The confusing bit is that he does seem to be able to self settle especially at bedtime, I feed him and pop him down in his cot with a blankie he likes to cuddle and dummy and 8/10 times he goes to sleep on his own without any rocking or interference from me so I know that he's capable of self soothing to some extent.

Last night he didn't stay up but again must have been up 5-6 times between 10pm - 7am I don't believe he's hungry that much.

i just moved my 7 month old into a proper cot from a next to me crib, shes still next to me. She slept better instantly and looks so comfywith her arms spread out so i think she was just a bit cranmed in. She goes from 7 until about 11 then every three hours 2am, 5am and wakes at 6.30(ish). Maybe try moving her now?
