[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 362122, member: 5601"] Re: OK, then his instinct to suck is OK. He may be just stressed out from the move. Spend as much time with him as you can. Talk to him and make that low mellow sound his momma made. Dip your finger in some milk and very gently rub his lips with it, working your way inside his mouth, so he can smell it and taste it. Keep doing that until he lets you put your finger in his mouth, then do it several more times then try replacing your finger with the bottle without letting him see the bottle. Try this about every ½ hr leaving him alone between attempts. If that doesn’t work after the 4 try, force feed him and let the tubing be a very last resort, as that is the most stressful way to go. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
