[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 362430, member: 5601"] Re: OK now I’m not trying to burst anyone’s bubble but I don’t get this “squeeze his neck with my legs” part and I have seen it stated on this board many times. I straddle the calf but my legs are on or just behind his front shoulders which enable me to raise his head to a full 90 degree up just like when he is nursing on mamma and have good control of him. Now that’s not to say I put his head up 90 degrees to insert the nipple but instead just as soon as I insert it. If he doesn’t suck I then pull the bottle in and out of his mouth about half way several times wait for him to swallow and keep doing it until he either sucks or totally rejects it. If he still doesn’t suck and I know I must get some milk in him now I force feed him by putting the milk in a coke bottle and put it in the side of his mouth as far back as possible and raise that head straight up. How do you raise his head if you are on his neck? As for the radio thing. Hint: Get a long little doggie. [/QUOTE]
