7 month old sleep

FTM with a 7 month old & feeling tired!
Just wondering if my 7 months old sleep is ‘normal’ or if there is something I’m missing.

He goes to bed between 7:30-8pm.

Most nights he sleeps for two three or four hour stretches then is up every hour.
Last night, he slept 8-11:00, then woke at 2am then woke up at 4,5 and 6:30 when we got up.

He is breastfed so tends to wake up wanting to be fed but I’m pretty certain it’s just for comfort. We co-sleep as I find it so much easier with those hourly wakes.

He naps for about 1.5-2 hours over the day with 3-4 naps.

we’ve tried black out curtains, white noise etc.

just wondering if anyone has been in a similar position and has anything that has worked or it’s just something I need to ride out. I keep thinking his sleep will improve with age, as his solids increase etc but no luck yet.. I’m due back at work next month and can’t imagine how I will function!
