I always tell people that having a Yorkie is like having a child. With babies and children parents often have to get up in the middle of the night to care for them. I rarely get more than 4 or 5 hours straight sleep because between me needing to go or my 12 year old, Dixie, that sleeps with us, needing to go, or puppies waking up a 5 a.m., it's always something.
There is nothing wrong with teaching him to use a pee pad. When we first moved in our home it had carpet and I bought a piece of vinyl flooring and layed it on the carpet and put the potty pads on that. Or you could setup a x-pen on a piece of vinyl flooring. There are people here on YT that sell belly bands and I think you can get them at Petsmart. I know many people with male dogs use them so that might be your best solution until he is completely trained. I also would recommend getting him neutered as soon as possible. I wish you and your baby the best.
