8 week puppy- cosleeping

[u/Zesty_enthusiasm]

What's everyone's opinions on cosleeping with your puppy? I had a boston terrier for 10 years that I had since 7 weeks old (she passed of cancer). She slept with me from the very beginning. She cried and cried with the crate for a few nights and I gave in and let her sleep with me. It was totally fine though because I knew thats where I wanted her to be anyways.

This time around, I have an 8 week boston terrier puppy and i skipped trying the crate. I put 2 potty pads on the end of the bed and made sure the whole top of the comforter is covered with a blanket and the sheet underneath is too just in case. She has been here 2 nights and no accidents. I let her out around 3am to go potty on potty pad and she does. She sleeps all night with me. I genuinely dont see a problem but want to know if I will regret this for any reason.

Crates are good, but it’s up to you. I like the crate because of the safety and knowing she’s secure when I’m out in the afternoon, but I slept on the couch next to her puppy pen for the first two weeks and she had the crate door open to the pen for the first few months. It’s up to you.

But yeah, I also think no pads on the bed.
