Yes you cannot give the baby milk from the fridge you need to warm it first. Don't warm the milk in the mircowave warm it in the bottle with hot water running over it. You can also stand the bottle with milk in it in hot water till its warm. Test the milk on your wrist to make sure it isn't too hot first. Squeezing mom's teats alittle will not hurt her and some milk should come out to see if the pup will nurse then.

You're doing a great job helping your friend. Don't give up on getting her to latch on. I would in a way flatten the teat. Get a good hold of it from an inch or so behind the nipple. Pry the mouth open and shove it all the way in there. They need it far back so they can start move it into proper position, hitting the roof of the mouth when they suck.

Debbie, Susan,Anne and the rest are all giving you great info.
All I will add is its very important for a puppy to latch on to get colostrum, even if her milk is not in yet. So keep trying

And you are such a great friend

I'm not a good friend, I'm just a very happy grandma

Max is very territorial, but this time, he only wants to lay beside the box where Cloe and the baby are.I took some pic's but my camera is acting up, so will have to wait until this afternoon for my son's camera

maxmom · 05-19-2008, 08:56 AM

his next feeding will be in a 30 min. after that I'll go to petco and get my own supplies.thanks debbie for your good advise.

maxmom · 05-19-2008, 09:26 AM

well ladies...we did it!!! either the honey, the saliva, the puppy formula..I don't know,I'm sure the good thoughts worked their magic, but he finally latched on, when he sucks, I could hear him strong, but after a while he got tired, since I was not able to tell how much he had drank I tried with the formula and he wouldn't take it, his stomach looks round, so I guess he is satisfied .

katelin · 05-19-2008, 09:50 AM

That is great news!! Yeah. Good job. (Oh and just a little late, but couldn't resist welcoming him to the world)
