I found that when I backed off, we both got a lot more sleep! I suppose if someone was hovering over me, I wouldn't find it easy to sleep either :wink: .
Seriously though, I would try not rushing in too early (I was the worst offender at this, I can tell you), see if your lo can settle himself. It may take a few attempts. and, obviously, if he starts to cry, he needs you. But it may be worth a try. It's OK now, but you don't want to be a prop for getting back to sleep when he's older, b/c it'll be that much harder to break the habit.
