That is how they get infections. So we started to let him have the bathroom and hallway with the wee wee pad and had a gate up so he could see us...He is now 6 months old and we no longer have him confined to the bathroom at nite. He roams the bedroom with the wee weepad in the bathroom. During the day he has the kitchen, eating area and bathroom..He loves it!!!He takes time and patience..You will be fine!! |
You just kept him in there too long. You should have given him a break every few hours until they are old enough to hold it all night.
