I will do that....good suggestion, thank you! I do have a question about doing that totally instead of bottle feeding......I read somewhere that tube fed puppies tend to be a lazier and tend to be more finicky later since they never had to make any effort to eat. Is there any truth to that? When I first read it, I thought it made sense to allow a puppy who would suck to suck since that is it's natural instinct, but maybe it's better to just tube feed? Thanks!
