sleepy night feeds

Hello, can anyone help? My 17 week-old wakes up 2 or 3 times a night and wants to feed, but he will then only feed for 5 minutes or so before falling back to sleep. I've been trying to keep waking him up to get him to take more milk, to string the feed out for half an hour or so but it is really hard to get him awake and interested and I am getting exhausted from the effort. I'm just worried that if I don't, he will wake up much more often needing more feeds. Should I let him just go back to sleep - is this his way of cutting down on night feeds?
