Congrats. I would definitely keep her in the crate at night. When Chewy first came home I would stuff blankets at the back of the crate and let him sleep in the front. No room to go potty. I would go to bed at 11 and then set my alarm for 3:30 AM to take him to potty and then wake up again at 7AM. After 2 or 3 weeks, he slept through the night. Your pup is very young to be leaving mamma so I would wrap up a ticking alarm clock and put it in the crate. This really helps. Good Luck with your baby.
