I've done this with all my puppies for the first few nights. I actually took my pillow and a quilt and layed in front of the kennel and put my fingers in the kennel so they could smell me or feel my hand. That way they feel secure. They are so young and everything is so new that I felt they should have that security. This way they are still in their kennel getting used to sleeping alone in it. They will wake up to go potty. So let them out to go and put them right back in. But don't ignore them when they whine and expect them to hold it. They won't and you'll be cleaning up poopey in the middle of the night. You can gradually put them by the bed, them move them a little further away. It doesn't take long at all. I probably only did this for the first week. But your puppy is very young.
