welcome to YT!! A week before I picked up my baby I took the breeder a new baby blanket which she put in the crate with the mommy and other siblings...When i picked him up I put him in his playpen with a stuffed animal and that blanket and he was fine..He slept in my room for about 3months and then i put him in the living room and I spend a lot of time there during the day with the tv and computer so when its time for bed and he goes in his playpen he knows its bedtime and off to sleep he goes...he will wake up about 6am barking to let me know its time to go out!!!
Good luck with your baby!!!
