Hey experienced breeders and owners! I have a few newborn questions to ask and would love some advice! My baby is growing up!! Napoleon is now almost 3 weeks old (on Friday) he weighs 1.3lbs as of this morning, his eyes are open and he is finding his legs! I was just wondering how often does he need to nurse now? At the start it was about every 1.5 hours and then he was going about every 2.5 hours. Does he still need to be feeding in the middle of the night? Paris has been hopping in and out of the laundry basket where he sleeps (which is next to my pillow on my bed) to feed him periodically in the middle of the night and then getting back out for more room to stretch out when she wants to sleep. Here is a new problem: He is figuring out how to get out of the laundry basket (caught him squeaking and climbing out last night! Luckily I am a very light sleeper!) So obviously we are going to have to come up with a new plan. Paris and Napoleon are in a pack n play right now as I write and are used to it because its where I put them when I need to leave the house but at night I don't know if that will work because she wants to sleep with me! I don't want to risk his safety. I have let him cuddle up with us in the middle of the night and he stays pretty close to me or to her but I don't want to risk his safety! Any suggestions? Can he go the full night without feeding? Also, he is gaining weight like a beast! He is chubby and round and I was just wondering will this even off at some point or is he going to be a gynormous yorkie? LOL. Also, his eyes look a little blue and a little bit cloudy is this normal when they first open their eyes? He is precious and I couldn't love him any more! Both Louis and Paris are doing great with him! Louis has never had a moment of jealousy...it's like he senses that Napoleon is his boy! Just want to make sure we are moving in the right direction! Any advice is appreciated!! Have a great day!!
