I hate to post this as a new thread as I am sure this info is all through this forum, but I am afraid that with my dial up....yes some places dial up is still being used ... it is so difficult to look through many posts to compile all the information I need.
So please bare with me on the monotony of this thread.
In just a few hours I will be getting a new bottle baby.
He is 8 days old today and has been on his mother until today. She has started favoring his twin sister and she is thriving while she pushes him away.
His mother is a Nubian/boer, his father is suspected of being a nubian/boer as well but that is up in the air.
I have decided to go with whole cow milk vit D added this time(used replacer last time and he was much older and already used to a bottle). While this is more expensive than the replacer, the ease of just pour and warm really appeals to our busy family.
At his age and for his breed(I will weight him when he arrives but from what I've seen he is quite thin) how many bottles per day should he be getting?
And how many ounces per feeding?
Also any hints on how to transition him on to a bottle easily?
Thanks so much for all your help and advice.
