Being as my wife and I are DINKs we are not used to having the baby routine! Thanks for the advise. What I am thinking is trying to limit the toliet excursions to one per night. She is still being feed three times daily, but I am reducing the middle of day ration to get her on two feeds per day. Usually her evening feed is 5.30-6pm ish. What I am thinking is that as you should never play with a puppy post feeding due to bloat, and we will want to play with her when we come home, is that evening feeding time is put back to as late as 7.30pm. Toilet before bed and then hopefully one visit outside during the night? Or am I kidding myself.. Has anyone slowly adjusted routines to minimise the sleeping patterns?

Hi All, Advise please... new puppy arrived last week and so far we have been getting up at 1-2am and also 4am to take little Jasmine to her alloted garden area to relieve her little bladder and number 2's. She is spending the whole night in the crate in our bedroom - she is very well behaved, bless her heart... No toilet mess in the house so far.... What can we do to stop us going crazy due to lack of sleep - Jasmine does not mind she is asleep in the garden cathcing up on her zzz's.... What's advise can anyone give to this issue, as our household harmony is important as well to our new little family member and her weak bladder! Thanks A&D.
