I had my first night with my pup too last night he cried for about ten fifteen minutes when we went to bed but left him untill the morning an he was fine - its so hard to ignore it a you want to pick them up and reassure them but they need to learn right from the start bed time is bed time good luck for your second night 
Me too... Pickle whined when we put him to bed but put the top I was wearing in with him and then I got up at 6.30 as we hadn't heard a peep out of him andI got worried lol. But he is fine but I think missing his family a little and he is not that interested in breakfast only a few mouthfuls
Awww - its so lovely reading about all these new pups ...Dexter seems like a big boy now
Its definitely worth putting a worn T-shirt or something in the crate with them, it seems to settle them nicely smelling you
Sounds like a successful night to me.

I had the same problem with the crate at night... He cried on two occasions what seemed the whole night. I was so distressed worrying I was creating a puppy who will be anxious and sad however through advice of my vet and great advice on here I persevered. I brought a DAP plug in which is next to his crate and put the cover down on all sides except where the plug in is and he is so much better. I also decided to change my sleeping pattern as I was going to bed at 10:30. I now go about 11:30/12 and he now goes through to 6:30
I expect this to change now and then, if he cries in the night unexpected I will, without sound or eye contact, let him out for a toilet just in case.
Always leave to door of the crate open in the day whilst you are there... Make sure it is covered... And throw some high quality treats in that you have not given before to create an inviting place for him to go to.
I am only toileting now as my concern was to reassure the crying and to make him settled. He is easy to catch with poos as he acts crazy and twist and turns so I put him straight out ... Wee's, I put him out straight after he drinks, wakes or watch him like a hawk for sniffing the ground.
He often comes back in and Wee's however those time I think it's because I didn't wait outside long enough. If he messes in the house I don't say anything except take him outside then say wee wee when he is out there (my word associated with toileting)
Whenever he does go outside I really overpraise and give a high quality treat (sausage bits from pets at home) as he then knows it was worth it.
