Warm the goat milk/water formula like you would for a baby. Fill the dropper and just let it drip into his mouth. He won't understand but will drink once he gets a taste. Try putting the dropper to the side of his mouth at first and just let a drop get into his mouth. He should get receptive. DON'T squeeze the dropper hard....just let a drop or two into his mouth at a time. Keep him upright while feeding. Be very careful not to let too much in his mouth at once or he'll aspirate. He should get used to it after a couple feedings. He needs to be fed every 2 hours. Burp him and gently rub his belly when done. Mom should do the diapering and will clean any dribbles of milk up. |
