Thank You,

Goats Milk with equal parts of distilled water is absolutely correct. It's 97% closest to mothers milk. What I usually do is attach a puppy preemie nipple to syringe. You can better control the amount of milk you're feeding and making sure cutting down the amount of air they're consumming (which can cause colic). I really can monitor their intake much better. But only do this for supplementing.....not taking over for mom.
