You might also try going for a good 15-20 minute walk right before bedtime. That was always another option if my guys didn't seem interested in playing at the time. Petco/Petsmart also carry these little bean buddies that you put in the microwave for a few seconds. They're very comforting for puppies. I still use mine to this day for my guys when they get in their carseat for a trip or in their crates in the winter. Some specialty doggie boutiques might also have the toys that have a heartbeat like their mother. I'm racking my brain, but that's the best I've got right now. If she's in a seperate room, you can always try the TV/radio. But if she's in the same room, try everything else. Also, IGNORE HER! I know it sounds mean. Of course when their brand new and very little they might have to go potty in the middle of the night, but if you'll start to ignore her when she starts up then she will eventually stop. Giving her attention every single time she cries is a bad habit to start. Good luck!

Great advice!!
