Hullo!
I just got a beautiful new baby boy. He is a bundle of joy for my girlfriend and I, completely playful but also very very sweet.
Unfortunately we're having some problems, since day 1. If he is in the bedroom at night, he is typically biting toes, scratching things he's not supposed to, chewing on her hair (oooh she hates that!), general mischeif.
But if we put him outside and shut the door, he meows until the sun comes up. He truly will go on for hours before quitting, and I simply cannot sleep with the noise (and I feel sorta bad locking him out too).
Please help! I'd much rather him get used to the idea that we're sleeping, stop being mischevous. But I also feel that he needs to understand that he's safe here so he doesn't need to cry all night, etc.
We've had him for over a week now, he's just over 2 months old, and this has been -- as I said before -- the situation since the first day, nothing changed.
Thanks.
