What am I doing wrong?

My DS is 27 weeks.
He has never slept all night, waking at least twice to feed. I am Ebf with some solids in the day.
The last few weeks however have been getting progressively worse, with multiple wakings and being awake for long periods.
Last night he woke at midnight for a feed. He went back to sleep immediately but woke at 230am. I left him to settle but he was still awake at 315 so I fed him again. He wasnt very hungry. He then stayed awake until after 5am-fairly happy until I start patting him to sleep- when he finally gave in and slept until 7ish.
The night before he woke twice for a feed and was up for the day at 515!

He sleeps around 3 hours in the day spread over 3 naps (the last being a cat nap around 4ish). He goes to sleep between 715-730 and self settles.

Why are the nights so horrendous? I think last night he must have only clocked 8 hours sleep in total. We co-sleep and I am starting to wonder if this is causing these issues

Any ideas gratefully received!!

Coukd you try taking the side off a wedding it up to your bed? It just then means you can have a go at shushing and patting back to sleep in the cot, but at the same time sort-of cosleeping.
