Yes, thank you. I haven't tried to tube him because he will swallow the milk when I put it on his tongue. I was told that as long as they will swallow on their own that I shouldn't tube them because they can get used to it and then won't nurse. I have been using DYNE mixed with puppy formula. I am using an eye dropper. It measures 3/4 ml when I use it. Do you know how much a baby can hold? So far I can get him to take 2 of those. Sylvia
