Weaning night feeds? Is it possible

I’m exhausted. 9 month old wakes for 1-2 feeds per night then goes straight back to sleep. Drains 8oz each time.

Surely he doesn’t need this much food?

6:30am bottle 8oz
7:30/8 weetabix
9:30-10:30 nap
11:30 lunch - today was sandwich (1 slice bread) half a banana, 3 cucumber slices & 3 melt stick crisps
1:30 8oz bottle
2:00-3:00 nap
3:00 8oz bottle
4:00 dinner - pulled pork sachet, rice pudding, other half of banana
7:00 8oz bottle

THEN 2x 8oz bottle at night.

I feel exhausted. Can I wean these night feeds? If so how?
I feel like all I do is feed my child! Everyone with similar age babies are dropping bottles. He’s gained one! He was on 4 bottles! Now 5!

or do I just need to wait it out? I’m going back to work in a few weeks so keen to get more sleep time!

Watching as my 9month old also wakes in the night to be fed - sometimes 4-5 times! He's BF so not sure how much but each seems like a big feed. I tried feeding him more in the day and some nights he only wakes up 2-3 times but also shattered and totally feel your pain!!
Over Christmas he slept really well for 3 nights in a row but then back to feeding every 2-3 hours 😴
