8 week old sleep all over the place

Hi, my DS is 8 weeks and his sleep is all over the place! I'm breast feeding him with some formula feeds by my DH so i can sleep sometimes. I fear I have got him into bad habits already as he won't really sleep unless he's on me during the day, when I try to put him down drowsy he just works himself up to a fit of crying. At night he will drop off to sleep about 7/8pm and will have 3 hours before a feed, after the initial 3 hours he generally wakes every 1.5 - 2 hours till about 4am when he seems awake for the day! He will snooze a bit more if I bring him in bed with me, which i tend to do as I'm so tired by then. All my nct friends are reporting much longer sleeping stints from their babies, do I just have a bad sleeper? Will his habits change naturally or should I be doing something? I neeeeed more sleep!
