Little help please

I never even thought about going slow :/ I hope she doesn't feel sick now! She's drank a ton today. I'm gonna feed her when I feed momma. Momma smells it and tries to takes it!

Sorry, I'm just now seeing this.

For potbellies I use MannaPro Ultium milk replacer, and I add in one egg to every bottle mixed for extra protien and fat. Uncooked, raw. I use a regular dollar store baby bottle as the nipple is the right size.
 
When Bernie was this size, she was getting 1oz 4x daily. By the time she hit l... 2lbs? Maybe 3? She was eating about 5oz a feeding.

She's down to two bottles a day now and drinks that entire 8oz bottle.

We would let her eat until she was full. Much like a mother pig. Some feedings she would eat 3oz and others less than 1. Depended on how much energy she used and how hungry she was.
 
What a stubborn piglet! She refused to use the kitten bottle! :idunno I caved with the syringe until I can widen the hole in the nipple a little more
 
Should I use a human baby bottle? I let her drink as much as she wanted. Filled it to 30ml and she drank maybe 15? So 3.5 tsp. Is that much? She did spill a good bit from it so that's why I'm saying maybe 15
 
These instructions are super confusing. Idk how to break it down since it's in a large amount. Does 1tbsp seem good for 30ml? I don't want to waste anymore formula than I have to lol
 
I just saw that comment lol. My Internet had it hidden. Will the formula I have be good? Should I still add in the egg?
