I feel that by getting up with him all night you are setting a habit that will not be easy to break. So IMHO I would put him in a playpen in a separate room with his cuddle buddy and a pee pad and some food and water, and close the door. You can even put a T shirt that you have worn, in bed for him to sleep on. The smell of you will be comforting to him.

The whole problem lies in that he is only 7 weeks old and should still be with his mother for another 4 weeks and you would not be having this issue.

Why on earth do people take puppies this young, and not realize that they are taking home an infant, that has the same needs of any infant.
