6 month old night feedings- What is average, above average or below average?

My 6 month old baby boy has settled nicely into a schedule, but I want to know if I should expect more and work with him on changing his night feedings or just except this as a good schedule. He is asleep by 7 pm after nursing and rocking him for about 15 minutes and he wakes up 5 to 6 hours later between midnight and 1 am for a 10 minute feeding. Then back to sleep and awake again around 3 am for a 10 minute feeding, then between 5 and 5:30 for a feeding and diaper change and then up for the day around 7. So 3 feedings not including wake up. I read that most babies sleep thru the night but my baby boy does not seem close to that at all. Should I just accept him this way and learn to deal with the lack of sleep? Thanks!
