[QUOTE="Farmhand, post: 148598, member: 1292"] You don't want to give too much water in a bottle. Little ones will nurse for as long as you hold a bottle for them it seems. You can water log them. We give a bottle of milk, then refill it half full of water - 2x a day. We switch them to buckets as soon as possible. Feed milk in bucket then refill the whole bucket with water. They will drink the amount they want from a bucket. Sometimes sucking instinct is too strong so they will over drink from a bottle. [/QUOTE]
