6 Month Old Waking Several Times at Night

My 6 month old baby will go to bed with no problems, just put him down and he will fall asleep on his own around 9 PM, the problem is he still wakes up several times a night and the only way to get him back to sleep is to nurse him. We have tried to just let him cry it out, but he will just go on for over a hour crying. When we do eventually go to him he is so wide awake and wound up from crying that he just wont go back to sleep. I need help I havent got a full night sleep in over 7 months.
