I have to agree with xafsmom... I did hand feed Echo at 11 weeks when I brought him home and must say it was a lot of work and kind o stressful. Not that you can't do it but are you really prepared to feed him 2 to 3 times a day until he decides he doesn't want anymore? If it wasn't for my husbands help I could not of done it...

On the other hand it must be costing you a fortune to make the 2 hr trip several times a week.


What if they show you how to hand feed him and you can help with one feeding on the days you are there. Just find out his time schedule for feedings and be there for the feedings as you can. Once you are 100% comfortable with the feedings and he is down to maybe one feeding a day you could take him home.

What ever you decide to do good luck and keep us posted on how your baby is doing Chris

Life is good when you are the chosen one. Except of course when you get barfed on.
