I know it's strange, but it really worked! Of course, someone is always home with Gizmo (or 98% of the time, someone is here).

Hopefully, some of our working parents will have some suggestions for you.
Judy has an excellent point -- you might try feeding this way if the free feeding doesn't work for you. Be open minded to trying new techniques to get the desired result - which is getting Kash to consume an appropriate amount of high quality calories daily.
