Any noticeable changes in the degree of flatulence and regurgitation? Only occasional possetts on prototype feeder. When feeding 'enthusiastically' a little 'windy' at these times.
Mother was using feeding on Dots 2 & 3, until Danny had a plate fitted last week. Now she feeds on Dot 2 as the flow is too fast for Danny at the moment on Dot 3.
Danny is now feeding very well on the prototype feeder - taking 120 - 130mls 4 hourly. (19/10/86 730mls taken in that 24 hour period). |
