We did! Hallelujah! We SLEPT through the night!

[firoz]

@theemcon Ugh. It would be amazing!

 

[mian195]

@firoz Yay! Congrats! My 16wo did the same today! Aahhh! So happy. 10pm-5am! Best record before this morning was 5.5 hours about a week ago!

Makes me think his “accidents” aren’t really accidents and 100% purposeful

 

[firoz]

@mian195 Haha. Ours only had 3 accidents inside total in 5ish weeks. 2 were our fault, we thought that the other person had taken her out. 1 we had guests and she got so excited she peed in the foyer.

@firoz Our 6mo slept till 7:40 this morning!! Its truly a wonderful feeling.

 

[roseonathorn]

@firoz Congratulations!!! Can only go up from here But remember a step backwards isn't failing, it'd working towards a leap forward. It was SUCH a relief when this happened for us. At 7m we had a weird regress and 2am potty for weeks. But then 8m, back to "normal" and sleeping in better.

 

[firoz]

@roseonathorn Yeah. She’s definitely teething and testing limits as she grows. So lots to learn, but at least i feel like its possible now. It felt like this day would never come.

@firoz Congratulations!!! That first full night of sleep is almost magical.

Not sure if you already do this, but we were able to help our pup last through the night by taking up her water about an hour before bedtime and a potty trip right before she goes in her crate for the night. We did this at about 10 weeks old and it worked like a charm. Instantly everyone got way more sleep. Now she’s about 15 weeks and we don’t have to restrict anymore, she can hold it through the night on her own.

 

[firoz]

@shell369 Happy Cake day! And Yes we’ve been doing this since week 9, but those early days it didn’t really matter, we were going to be every hour or two. But it’s slowly building. I normally take her pee. Then play for 5 minutes then inside to calm down then in the crate. I don’t want her to associate peeing at night with end of play time, but i might be too paranoid about this.

@firoz After reading this post I feel quite fortunate that my pup has been doing 7 hours nights since I got her , at 2 months old :0

 

[firoz]

@calvinandhobbes Lucky you! Ours definitely was not there at 2mos

 

[mindysimmons]

@firoz Oh! So jealous! Our Yorkshire Terrier is gonna be 3 years old this month and she still gets me up at 4am.

 

[firoz]

@mindysimmons i’m sure she’ll get there!

 

[anxiousanddepressed]

@firoz I feel all of your pain !! Was a mess from lack of sleep when we got out 8 week old doxie at 13 weeks he slept all night and now I have to get him up at 9 in the morning!!

 

[firoz]

@anxiousanddepressed She’s pretty awake after 7, she did it again tonight, but another hour would be ideal. I don’t want to push her too much too soon. I feel super lucky about what i’m getting.

 

[serahmbarak]

@firoz Our 7ish month old golden sleeps 11-12 hours — 8PM to 7AM/8AM. So much better than when she’d wake up at 5am sharp

 

[firoz]

@serahmbarak I can’t wait for those days, adolescence and all.

 

[serahmbarak]

@firoz The best (and worst?) part is, if she starts barking anytime between within those 12 hours, it’s absolutely an emergency without fail and she’s sick to her stomach or something

 

[sheryrits]

@firoz Question! How long can your dog hold is pee at night? My dog is prone for Chrystal and I'm worrying if 7h it to long for him?

 

[tropicalbaby]

@sheryrits How old is he?

 

[sheryrits]

@tropicalbaby Almost 3 years now. In starting working in the next week and I think I will need my sleep lol
