Ok, then I am doing it right. I am trying to feed him every 2 hours and trying him on mom first. I try to get 2 - 3/4ml into him at a time. If I can see his belly is bigger than before I started I am happy.
I have 2 more smaller than him. I am keeping them all warm and they are right beside me. 2 born yesterday and this little guy today. Sylvia
