[QUOTE="B&N, post: 517236, member: 8055"] We tried the sugar yesterday morning. We have enlarged the hole. This was the first time we felt we got some milk down him. And yes I get in there and play with his tongue that helped until I put my finger in the wrong place and he bit down. He did not do so well last night again used sugar. Maybe drank a 1/2 cup of milk from bucket. Just got in this morning from feeding. He still having issues sucking. Tongue wants to come out of mouth. He wants to chew instead of sucking. Not any better than yesterday morning but a little better than last night. I am gonna see if farm store open today (Easter Sunday) and try a different nipple. What kind of feed with milk in it do you suggest. Any other suggestions? Will lamb nipples make a difference? [/QUOTE]
