He actually managed a number of times to work his tongue and force the tube back up so once when I hit the plunger I got a face full :o) He smirked at me on that one. He also hated the First Born milk - tried two different times to feed it to him - and he spit it back at me both times. It is much thicker than esbilac and "to me" the small was not as appealing. This was my first tube baby and "knocking on wood" he is doing great. Actually one of the cutest puppies I have ever seen at 7 weeks. He just makes me laugh - big fat face, tons of coat, huge eyes and an impish expression. Believe the first week I was feeding him around 8 to 12 cc's (via syringe and tube) every 2 1/2 hours and by 5 weeks was up to 35-40 cc's about 4 to 5 times a day. Thankfully I was able to take him to work with me.
