Hi! to YT

I have 2 babies...my boy is 4 months and my girl is 3 months and she is still a big whiner. Your baby is only 7 weeks old and he misses mommy. I personally think they took him away from mommy too soon.

I crate mine at night and now my boy has his bladder under control so he doesn't get up in the middle of the night anymore, my girl gets up once. I have a big pillow in their crates but I still have my girls crate devided so she only has enough room to stand and turn. She has been accident free for almost 2 weeks so daddy and I were thinking about removing the devider tonight.

I would still crate him..it is the best thing you can do. Place a pillow in his crate and cover it with a pad and place a pillow cover over it so if he potties it doesn't soak into the pillow. That is what I do with Mimi. Now with Timmy I never had that problem. From day 1 he never went in his crate and he never whined.

Just be consistant with potty training. Take him to his pad every 30 mins if necessary and tell him potty or which ever word you want to use. When I see my babies sniffing around all I have to say is go potty and they run to the pad. When I am at work I confine them to a area and lay pads down and they do great! No accidents!

Just remember always keep an eye on him when he is not confined.

Can't wait to see pics of your baby!
