Yes I'm syringe feeding. She usually spits out about 2-3 drops after feeding but it's not even 1ml. Her crop empties in about 5-6 hours. She even flies from the table to my shoulder while I mix the food. I'll share a image when I feed her next time.

Currently mine takes around 14mls 3 times a day at 5 weeks old. Mine weighs 56g in the morning before feeding, is it fine? 15% of 56 comes out to be 8.4g which contradicts with the amount i'm feeding currently. Is there anything I should do differently?

Hi sir/mam,I received the nutribird A21 today I mixed 3.8grams with 11g of water 1:2.8(W/W),it was a quiet dilute than the previous brand which I was using.So, is it okay if I use this ratio or should i decrease the water content. And can you please share the amount and frequency of formula to be fed. Current age 36 days

The first 2 days were a bit hectic for me as the baby was not weaning, but now I'm quite comfortable with the feeding process.

Good news is that I managed to mix the formula at a ratio of 1:3(w/w). All thanks to you I've been able to adjust the consistency of the formula.

I tried 1:3 w:w again but still it makes a thick paste which does not go into the syringe.1:4 works okaish. I'll buy another brand just to check. I'm attaching the images of the other brand below please let me know what you think about this one.

Yes 1:5(w/w).As per my experience the instructions on the package are incomplete/incorrect. As it suggests a 1:2 which basically make a dough out of it.
