I will call the vet and ask about the drops in the morning.

Like katelin said the the smallest eat first put it on the back tit thats fullest. then when its full let the others eat. the mothers milk will be better for it as long as it can latch on and you wont have to worry about it breathing milk in and choking that can lead to a raspy baby and can lead to pneumonia and possible death. yes never feed a cold baby always warm it first. and never bottle feed with it laying on its back. also you must burp by rubbing its back after each bottle feeding, but I wouldn't even bottle feed as long as it can latch on to momma.
