Meet Chrissy Snow and Janet Wood!

I think 4 - 6oz bottles sounds good for now. I'd sort of go by her lead, if she still seems hungry, add an ounce, if she's not finishing them, cut back an oz, and so on.
I've found the morning bottle is the 'best' one to start adding a little extra to, they're hungriest then...then the next bottle, do the normal amount, etc.

I've never had any problem getting a kid started on hay / grain....I put the hay in by 1 wk and grain in by 2 and usually they're starting in on both right away....

Thank you - I was hoping that would be enough to start...we're kinda taking it slow as they spent the night on first revitalyte and then a pedialyte bottle getting the runny poos to quit...this morning we have started with one small feeding of vitamin D milk and we are SLOWLY upping it with both girls...

So far, so good, no nasty poos...and you can tell they are feeling better already as they get more energetic, which I did NOT think was possible! They were already bouncing off of stuff yesterday and today I think I have new hoof prints in my walls!

I'm jealous. I want a bottle baby!

Me too. I miss those bottle babies. Cuddly, cute, friendly.

I love babies, but bottle babies are special.
