Should I keep the crate empty?

Hi, I'm back again with another question. I'm wondering if I should put a blanket or bed in an 8-week-old puppy's crate at night. I've heard it's sometimes better to keep the crate bare at first in case of potty accidents, and that a blanket might encourage them to go in the crate—is there any truth to this? I don't want the puppy to feel uncomfortable, especially on the first night.
