I use equal parts water with condensed goat milk. Weight gain will be slow at first, but it will pick up. My little guy only gained .1 oz daily for about a week. GOOD LUCK and keep us posted!!!
Thanks! yes .1 is about what I'm getting ...will keep in mind the syringer..I have tried the eye dropper.
This tiny ones are a lot of dedication and many sleepless nights
