Nap time- let him cry he passes out again

Please say others do this.... My baby is a good Napper (he may cry and resist for 3 mins and pass out) never at bed tho. He sometimes will wake up from a nap after 30 mins and then he can be cranky so lately when he wakes up from a nap I don't go in right away and let him cry for maybe 3-5 mins and then he passes out. Is this okay? Or should I go get him? I only do this for his first nap of the day because it's the longest and if I do let him cry and he passes out he will go back for another 30-40 mins more sometimes more. Am I being a mean mom lol? I hate to hear him cry but if he's gonna pass out again I think let him. Baby can't have too much sleep. He goes to bed around 6:30-7 sleeps till 5 up for a feed back down till 7:30.

    You're not mean. You are teaching him how to self sooth and as long as you know his cries you will know when he really needs you

    Mine will cry out briefly, 10 seconds, with eyes still closed and go back to sleep. I just peek in to see. If her eyes open and she's actually crying, I go in and soothe her, or nurse a bit, and she often goes back to sleep if I catch it before she gets riled up. You know your baby best. If your method suits her temperament, then I wouldn't change something that's working. Personally, I go to baby if she actually cries. If she's fussing and rolling around I leave her to see if she settles.

    I do the same. One of my twins sleeps with out my help. I lay him in his crib & he fusses until he's comfortable & falls asleep. He'll wake up, cry & then falls back asleep once he finds a comfortable position. If i walk in and dont let him fall asleep in his own he wakes up & it ruins his afternoon nap..So no you are not a mean mom. Not @ all.

    I do the same, if he doesn't stop I go get him and rock him but I let it go for a few minutes to see if he falls back to sleep.
