Hungry or comfort feeding??

My ds is 7.5mo and loves his food...so much so that he started waking 1-2 times every night for extra bf! :( Ive tried leaving him to settle w/o bf but just doesn't work, last night I was up with him for 2hrs between 2-4am when I eventually gave in and bf...he fed for jus less than 10 mins before he fell asleep.

Jus wondering is he comfort feeding or could he be hungry?? Here's a sample of his daily routine:

8.15am Up & Dress
8.45am Brekkie - Porridge / Weetabix
9.30am Bf
10.00am NAP - usually naps for 45min - 1hr
12.30pm Lunch - Meat & Veg or Fish & Veg - 2 tbsp.
1.30pm Bf
2.00pm Nap - again for approx. 1hr
4.00pm Bf
6.00pm Tea - Toast/Rusk in his hand & also a yoghurt or fruit puree
7.00pm Bedtime Routine - Play / Bath / Bf / Sleep - He's great to go to bed as have had same routine since he was jus 8wks old but lately he's been waking at around 11.30pm and again around 3am :(

Would to hear from other mums...do you think is this a bad habit he's got into or if I should give him more food during the day in case he is actually waking up hungry?? Tks mums!

Have you dropped any of his daytime feeds? I would consider increasing those rather than the solids as that is more likely to fill him up. DD was still breastfeeing around 6x per day at that age.
