Yea I sit down with mom while she feeds and make sure they are eating...
ok yeah I never thought about using a saucer, that might help better than what I'm using now...and I do have to agree it is really cute with milk faces....
thank you for your time answering my questions

I also use a saucer when its time to start them being weaned. They make a mess and I'm sure they wear more then they eat the first few times, but they do look adorable with the milk faces,lol.
