I don't use pee pads, never have. My babies go outside only. I strongly suggest you crate train your new baby. It works great as long as you are consistant and I believe it will give you the quickest results. There have been a lot of discussions on crate training on this web site so I would do a search and you'll find lots of information. You'r baby is only 8 weeks old so it's going to tak a LOT of patience and time but well worth it in the long run.
Good luck and congratulations on your new baby!
