Basically this question. I have no idea what is usually done by parents of babies and am to embarrassed to ask anyone in real life.
My DS is 3 months old and ever since he was a newborn I have gotten up to feed him or settle him when he rouses and starts tossing and turning. This used to be 3-4 times a night over a 10 - 12 hour period. Now he sleeps the first five hours and then he tosses and turns (sometime half asleep, sometimes awake) and I respond to him every hour after that. I cant help myself!
My DH and I have already decided it cant go on and we will now start putting him in his own room. But when he is in there do I go in to check on him or do I just leave him there until he cries?
(BTW he has never cried at night as I have always pre-empted this, I think I have a fear of him crying at night and being unable to settle him back to sleep).

Do you wait until they cry before you respond to them at night?
