Ferber - do you go in if they’re not crying?

Our 15 month old wakes 3-5 times per night. Tonight is our first night trying sleep training. It took an hour for him to go to sleep initially. Annoyingly when we then came up to bed he’d pooed and we had to change him which woke him up. Started again, did 3 minutes of crying, then 5 minutes, left for the third time and he hasn’t cried, but he’s just sitting in his cot playing with his hands. It’s been 25 minutes!

Google suggests you only go in if they’re upset, and otherwise to leave them to be independent? It feels very weird to go to bed whilst he’s awake.
