Aitor is a cutie! Young puppies may cry for many reason's and one of them may be that he is missing his mother and litter mates. Provide him with vigorous play as this will help him to sleep better. Make sure to put him down for naps every few hours (some puppies will not do this on their own). Keep him on a good routine and lastly, you may play some back ground music. Classical music or the sound of a heart beat may help him to feel comfortable as he makes this transition. Most puppies will outgrow this behavior quickly so hang in there! I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions!
