Sleep Deprivation

Its Saturday night, K and I just get settled down to watch a movie after putting the kids to bed and then.... wa, wa, waa, waa, waaaaa!, waaaaa!  little bit has decided that he is not going to continue sleeping.  I know that if I take 20 minutes and feed him he'll go back down, but I think he should be sleeping longer stretches at a time.  I make the decision to let K feed him a bottle - give him the enjoyment of feeding the baby and give myself a break.  The night goes on and he wakes up every 2.5 hours or so - it is SO tiring.  His last wakeup tends to be around 5am - makes it really difficult for me to get up since I know it will be 530 or later after I get to go back to sleep and its like what's the point of going back to sleep and the bed is SO comfy.  I go grab the baby and bring him into bed with me so he can eat and I can snooze, figuring just a morning snooze with mom won't turn into a habit.  Well, after last night, I'm not so sure - baby was back to his tricks waking every 2.5 hours and last wake up at 5am  - this time I decide to stay in his room.  I feed him for 25min - he eats and falls to sleep, and I put him back in bed and he starts crying loudly.  I swear the little bugger expected me to bring him in bed with me and was protesting.  K keeps telling me Sebastian is too young to be sleep trained - but I have a hard time believing a four month 16lb baby can't make it 6 hours without waking up (he did manage to do this for me once last week - so I know he has it in him, somewhere).  PJ was the same way, and I remember he wasn't sleeping through the night until he was 8months - but he was a bit on the light side, so my doctor advised me not to cut back on the feedings and even so, it took some major training to get him there.  Mazie wasn't so difficult.  (Of course the two have flip-flopped now they are older, PJ is the better sleeper and Mazie is my early riser).  So the question is to sleep train or not?  I may wait another month or so, but I could really use a solid night of sleep.
