We made it 3.5 hours between potty breaks last night. Only one trip out, that was NICE!

Woohoo! It's a great feelin when they get better!

It sure is, so nice to only have to get up once during the night.

Very nice! I remember I was excited too when I had to get up until 5:30am as opposed to every hour

If she keeps improving at this rate I'll be able to sleep all night before to long. That will be a nice little treat.

Are you keeping her up a lot during the day? Mishka is up and will play for a while then he will sleep for a couple of hours and do it all over again. I'm worried this is making him not sleep well at night. Though last night was far better than the first night.

I have never forced her to stay up during the day. She's a baby and babies need to sleep. I started out by taking her out every 2 hours at night (cutting off her water at least 2 hours before bed). Once I made she she was able to make it 2 hours without an accident I increased the time by 30 minutes. We have had her for 11 days and she is up to 3.5 to 4 hours a night now.

Once we got through the first 3 nights of her screaming and howling she progressed really fast. She hated the crate and being alone at first. Now she doesn't mind it at all. I'll put her in at night and she will lay right down. I do give her a few toys at night (her hedgehog is her favorite bedtime toy). That keeps her busy between potty breaks.

Ya i was so pumped and shocked the first time koda slept theough the night.. I woke up like what time is it?!?! Lol.. For about a week he was actually sleeping from 10-7 not wakimg up at all.. But then he started waking up once at around 5:30 or 6 now... So that is the routine then bak to be for like a hour.. But congrats!

We usually go to bed at 10pm and are up at 6am (5 days a week). I would be really happy with that. lol! At the rate Peaches is going I don't think it will be to far off, I hope!

I would be ecstatic if Mishka slept 10-7. I'm up at 5:30am anyway getting ready for work during the week. Lol.

I took Karli out at midnight every night til she was about 5 months old. At that point she could hold it all night as long as my hubby got up at six and let her out before he went to work. She never had an accident in her crate but there were mornings I'd wake up to hear her whining to be let out. Its a nice feeling to not have to get up anymore!
