I know the rule of thumb is (Age in months) + 1 = # of hours between pees.
However, our almost-4-month-old still seems to need to go out every 2 hours max. Is this something to worry about?
I would think maybe he's just "used to" going out more, but if he's out of his crate and playing, he'll stop to ring the bells to go pee, and if we ignore it, we're sorry! If we try to leave him in the crate longer than his first "I need out!" whine, we're also sorry, so the idea of "teaching him to hold it" seems difficult at best.
My thinking is: Better to take him out frequently than to let him have accidents (and get used to that).
He drinks with every meal, before and after every walk (pretty much), and while playing, so maybe he's just well hydrated.
Any thoughts would be welcome!
