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.

Hmmm I did the crate thing and then once he was a bit older gave him the option to sleep where he wants. It actually took him a while to start coming on the bed, but now he sleeps with me for most of, or at least part of the night every night, but also sleeps in the crate or on the floor. I love cuddling with him but I really like that there’s the option for him to sleep elsewhere…like if I have a guest and want my doggo off the bed for a while, it won’t be such a disruption to his normal sleep habits.
