She won't start to have any real bladder control until she is past 16 weeks so it's good to have a pee pad near by at all times at this point.
She is so beautiful. It can be kind of stressful being the new mommy of such a little baby but it is a real bonding experience, too. It gives everyone puppy fever to see someone get a new baby. Congratulations. |
That was really helpful advice. I never thought about how huge I looked to her. Now that I think about it, she does crawl right I to my lap when I'm sitting but when I'm standing she gets afraid.
Should I just not encourage potty training until 16 weeks then? Well not necessarily not encourage it but not enforce it? She went pee on the pad once and I gave her a few multigrain Cheerios. Although I don't think she realized that she had went pee on the pad.
