Well, first of all, when he cries in the middle of the night, do you get up and take him out? He might be telling you that he can't hold it any longer and if he's communicating that to you, you need to pay attention. I also find that some do fine in a crate as long as they are right there with you. I have put some on the bedside table and comfort them and they are fine. If he is just one of those that really does not like being confined, could you put a little xpen right next to your bed with pee pads and try that? Don't get discouraged. He's just a baby and he doesn't know how to make you understand just like you are frustrated and don't know how to make him understand. In time and with lots of patience, you will both figure out the best system for him. |
