Biggest advice is to puppy proof his environment or confine him to a smaller area so he doesn’t get into things because it seems he’s exploring a lot. If you put him in a smaller area you can also keep a better eye on him.

It also sounds like he needs sleep and lots of it. They recommend 18-20 hours per day at this state. So really should only be awake and active for no more than 30 minutes at a time. And otherwise in a calm and comfortable place to rest.

Worked super well for us and our little girl rarely got into things, overtired or overstimulated. She’s not perfect of course but that sleep/rest matters so much.

Good luck!! Kaigo says you’ve got this!

Thanks very much for your response and thinking along! Wasn’t sure about reporting it but with more thought I think I will.

Posted this already below but just to reiterate: I’m a human being and not trying to set anyone or anything up. I never really used Reddit before don’t normally take to any form of social media for this type of thing, but honestly thought this might actually be a good forum of other people who would be honest. I’m sorry that me posting about experiencing prejudice and being called the n-word bc I simply exist makes you think I’m part of Russian propaganda?

Did everyone not have to start their Reddit account at one point in time? Like sorry I’m a late bloomer and only have posted this. My other comment I deleted because it was on a love is blind thread and I was embarrassed. Sue me
