I think I found the right forum this time! I had another question I would like to hear everyone's wisdom on. I will be going back to work tomorrow after a week and a half off with my new baby. Each day I have been leaving him alone for an hour or two at a time in his crate/x-pen combo so he can sleep but has room to walk around, get his water and play with some toys. I have also put a little fake grass pee contraption in there which he has actually used a few times while I've been gone without any coaxing. I normally leave this all open for him when I am home and he goes in and out freely. He is also
fed in his xpen as I thought this might help him think of it as his own space. Anyways, tomorrow he will be alone for about 6 hours and I wanted to ask your opinions on continuing with what I have been doing vs. Strictly crating him, which is what I do at night. I don't want to be counterproductive to his potty training but I know it's unrealistic to expect him to hold it that long. Sorry I am so long winded, but any thoughts are appreciated!
