Will a baby naturally learn to settle themselves to sleep?

Will a baby naturally learn to settle themselves to sleep, or do they have to be ‘taught’.
My little one is 9 months now. Still wakes every 2 hours. Never been a great sleeper.
I don’t want to sleep train as it’s not something I’m comfortable with. But just wondering, one day will he learn to link his sleep cycles and fall back to sleep himself, or will I have to ‘teach’ him?
Currently he is fed and/or cuddled and patted to sleep before placing in his cot in his own room.
After 9 months of constant wake ups through the night and 6am starts I am beyond exhausted. Just want to know there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Literally all my friends babies sleep well 😫😫😫
