FWIW, I only feed bottle babies (and we've had pygmies in the past) 3 x a day...

well you know the directions on the bag of powdered milk suggested 4 times a day. It gets a first bottle around 6:30 am, I give it a last one at midnight, in between it probably gets four, so all in all it's gets six. Basically it's gets what it wants and when, lol. I'm just so glad it's eating and doing good right now seems worth it. hope we're not doing it harm. The bag also said it should drink about 3 cups a day, that is what it is doing almost exactly. We just doing it in a little smaller doses I guess.

I was just saying you don't *need* to....in case it becomes too much.
As long as you are all happy....I don't think it'll hurt anyone,

The only thing that worries me w/ frequent feedings is if they don't have time to digest all the milk it can lead to problems. As long as you're feeding small amounts, it should be fine.
