My pups wouldn't take to the bottle to well at first. Now they do great. It is hard to explain how I do it but I will try. I place the bottle(I use regular size bottles with preemie nipples) in my hand and I put their little paws on the pinky side that way they have a place to push. with the other hand i craddle their body in a standing position, I place my thumb and forefinger on the side of their mussle to hold it on the nipple. Sometimes ther are very hard to get started, but then they suck a few times and they do okay. I had to put in a tiny bit of condensed milk withthe formula before they would even drink. I guess they like it to be better tasting. If there is anything at all I can do please let me know. Good luck with the tubing.
