I've heard about the preemie baby bottles and told it works great. I do use a syringe with a preeme animal nipple attached to it. The first few times was a challange, so I made the hole a bit larger and gently pushed the milk in their mouths. They finally got it on their 3rd feeding and started suckling, then I just couldn't reload the syringe fast enough. by the time they started lapping on their own at 3 weeks they were up to 64 cc about every 4 or 5 hours...
