You either have to sleep near her or get a baby monitor. Hopefully she will whine when she needs to go potty and you will just have to get up. She should be able to last longer soon.
I took mine out about every 2 hours during the day. I did NOT wake her to take her out. Take out about 15 minutes after eating or drinking, after playtime, and whenever she wakes up. Give her praise.
CLEAN her bedding so it doesn't smell to her like a place she should potty.
I slept on the sofa for about a week when Maggie was new. She was about 12 weeks, 2.5 pounds. I took her out when needed and put her back in cage if it was night. SOmetimes after her 6am pee she wouldn't want to be back in cage, so I let her sleep on me, on the sofa. She started sleeping 6-8 hours fairly quickly which surprised me.
The baby monitor was the best because she was in the kitchen and I could be in bed and hear her when she got up.
Our baby mangled our hands too, she is playing/teething. I started telling her 'no bite" after a while, but the men in my house still play with her rough and let her mouth them. She never really bites down.
Too many baths may make her leery of being around you, so try to get her not to mess her space and try wipes made for dogs instead of so many baths. |
