re: Puppy Keeps Crying at Night

You let him cry until eventually he stops. The more accommodating and positive you make that room the easier it gets
As for peeing/pooping, you should be waking up every 2-3 hours to take him outside + reward. If you do that right, you'll never have an accident in the house
I'd recommend crate training with regular ~2-3hr potty breaks throughout the night/day. Never took >2-3weeks for my dogs to be perfectly potty trained

He's too young to go outside. He hasn't been fully vaccinated nor has he started taking flee medication.

Yep, we crate trained our lab. When she was a puppy we took her out every 3-4 hours at night and would give praise/reward when she went. Once she hit 1 we stopped crating her when we leave and she has never had an accident.

This. I was fortunate to be working at home when my dog was a puppy. Getting out of her crate and going outside every 2-3 hours plus a treat when ever she did her business outside had her potty trained in about 2 weeks. The key is to be able to consistently reinforce the incentive system. If you're gone all day and sleep all night, you're not really setting yourselves up for success.

In regards to taking it out every 2-3 hours at night, I agree. I was an idiot when I got my first puppy (8-10 weeks). I never took her out overnight. I took her out about 2-3 times in the 30 minutes before she got crated for the night. Had her crate be about double her body size, pad on one side she slept on the other. It worked I guess. She only peed the crate the first two nights and then never again. But she was probably miserable all those nights she held it. It makes me cringe when I think about some of the dumb decisions I made when I first got her. But now she's almost 5 and the coolest dog ever.
To the OP, take the advice you're getting in this thread. Will save you lots of trouble and everything people are suggesting will help you establish a positive relationship with your dog and he/she will trust/be loyal to you to no end.
