3 month old sleep

Hi,
Look for some advice, my 13 week old has never been a great sleeper, but would usually go to sleep around 7ish, wake for feeds in the night and sleep until around 7.
This last week we have had to move baby to a travel cot with proper mattress in our room due to him outgrowing his Moses basket. Since then he wakes numerous times any time from 2am to 4am, thinking it's time to get up. He just lays in his cot chatting to himself and moving around, until we pick him up and cuddle him back to sleep, he will then wake back up again and again, until I give in around 6am.
He has also had reflux and is now on gaviscon,
He has a good bedtime routine and has a bath around 6.30pm with bedtime at around 7ish. He usually sleeps well until feed at 11ish, then again at 2.30ish. Due to his reflux we have been advised to feed smaller amounts more often which is why he wakes for feeds more often.
Any advice for how to overcome this stage would be great!

Do you have a wedgehog? Helps with the sleep. Can order from amazon or wedgehog direct

If he's not crying I would leave him to send settle when he wakes. You'll be approaching the 4 month sleep regression as well when developmentally they learn to link the sleep cycles together. It can take a few weeks and he might be restless during that time. Getting him to self settle, if not crying will put him in a really good place.

If he cries I would pick him up and comfort him but put him back down awake if you can. Or let him be able to see you so he knows you are there and maybe hold his hand or put your hand on his chest.

Personally if he's not crying/upset/annoyed I would leave him to it! I wouldn't be able to sleep through the chatter as I'm such a light sleeper, but I definitely wouldn't be getting up in the night for a happy baby. DD (7.5mo) does this very rarely (usually when she wakes in the night she is very unhappy so we have no choice but to intervene!), but if she's happy chatting I just leave her to it.
