As for helping Logan get to a regular feeding schedule:
I'm a new parent (for 1 month) to a 4month baby, and he was such a finicky eater that he wouldn't eat when i tried feeding him in the mornings. But I read in many places to only put it down for a while and if he doesn't eat than to wait until the time for his next meal. I made sure to treat him (during 3-5 minute simple training exercises) or give him a kong toy filled with some treats around lunch time so that he doesn't get hypoglycemic. But by dinner time he was hungry and ate his dinner with no problems.
Also, I would take the food away after fifteen minutes--that way, he knows that he better eat right away or else it will be taken away. It worked within the first few days - and he is catering to my set schedule rather than me catering to him.
As for potty training - I'm in the process and will be on this forum to update on how it's going. I hope for success for you as much as for myself. I am training him to go on a pad, and am getting a UGODOG potty training system that helps maintain cleanliness and smells. Will update on how that works out.
Belly Bands sound like a great idea - I don't know how much it would help train him to go outside and I don't know if we'd want our yorkies to be in diapers the rest of their lives, but it will definitely save your carpet! Maybe you can try that out the next few month so that he can get accustomed to the idea that you will treat/praise him when he goes outside. |
