She sleeps in our bedroom and I talk to her and that quites her down, for a few minutes. I guess that is part of her getting used to the create and not because she is hungry.

Should I leave water in her crate or would that create more issues?

Thanks!
Hi There,
I am fairly new here as well, I've only had my girl now for a month. She is almost four months old and is small too (2lbs as of last week).

He might be crying because he doesn't want to be in his crate. My Aira did this a lot in her first two weeks. I am not sure that it is necessary to feed him at night because their metabolisms slow down at night while they are sleeping. This is why they can hold it longer at night.

For night time I have Aira in an ex-pen with her bed and pee pads, which saves me from having to get up She still pees about once or twice a night. She's usually in there from 12AM-7AM. She now goes to the pads on her own so if I want to sleep in I let her out at 7AM, feed her and and she'll lie beside my bed and sleep and go to the pads if required. In fact today she slept beside the bed from 7AM-11AM. We were VERY lazy today
