Constantly waking up

Baby boy is going to be 7 months and he still wakes 5+ times at night... Sometimes it’s every hour on the hour. He doesn’t take a pacifier very much and I’m EBF. (He refuses any bottles). Only way I can get him to calm down and fall back to sleep is if I nurse him. I’m honestly at a loss... we moved his crib to his own room thinking it might help but it hasn’t. The only way I can get him to sleep for more than an hour or two is putting him in bed beside me (which I know isn’t good). Is there any advice from anyone? Any tips? I can’t bring myself to do the cry it out method after doing research, it’s just not for us.
