is it bad... hey everyone... so i was wondering... Toby has been doing better the past two nights. Tues he slept from 10-5:30 and last night 10:30-4:30 in his crate, with no crying. On Tuesday I just woke up at 530 with him, turned on lights and tv b/c i knew he was not going to go back to sleep. Last night though at 4:30 i put him back in the crate after potty and he cried for about an hour or longer until i took him back outside and then just woke up for the day. so my question is, i think he might possibly sleep after that 4-5 am potty break if i put him in bed with me? but i'm soooo scared he is going to fall off or suffocate. any ideas??? |
Just like a human baby, the less stimulation the better. When you get up for the early morning potty break, try not to speak too much, and if you do, do it quietly;) No TV, and minimum lights, just enough to not trip over stuff. If you don't have a nightlight, get one:) Do the potty thing, then back into the crate very quietly and matter-of-factly, and he should go back to sleep for a bit. Does he have food available to nibble on in his crate? Maybe a small doggie snack would help too, since he's little and needs to eat frequently. |

when we potty there is just a night light and the outside light on. i literally dont say two words to him. except "good boy" when i put him in his crate. and then he cries for hours.... no fun. making it til 4-5 in the morning is a huuuge improvement and i'm grateful for it b/c i was not even functioning that first week haha. the only time i put lights/tv on is if we are getting up. he doesn't have food in his crate but he has his stuffed animal and a kong... he will cuddle up with me on the recliner and take a little morning nap... usually 615am or so... which is why i thought maybe put him in bed after the 4-5am potty break, and maybe we could sleep and skip the crying/barking/whining. buuut i dont want to mess up the crate sleeping he does from 10-4/5 ya know?? |
after the AM potty break is when we go back for another hour of sleep and that's when Amelia and I have our Cuddle Time. We both snuggle and doze till it's time to get up. Of course Millie is big at 9lbs and I make sure I'm in a position where I won't roll her way. |
My cleo does the same thing (she is almost 5 months, 3.7lbs). During the week i put her back in the crate, cause my alarm goes off at 6, but on the weekend i let her in the bed, this way she lets me sleep until 8 or later! |
Maybe he is hungry , when Laci used to get up at 430 am she was STARVING and I mean STARVING she would eat so much she would hiccup!! Maybe a little food in there would help then when you get up at 630 he will have to poop :) |
