Thanks Sally, I may just have to go down that route. After all they are over the worst, have put on about 1.5kgs in the last 10 days (not much, but they do look a lot better than they did). Have today jabbed the second one with AB's, AI's and vits, he was getting more depressed over the weekend...

I had 1 this year that wouldn't suck... his reflex was useless. I posted on here convinced I'd lose him, it took him nearly 10 days of force feeding to get the idea but now he's doing super. I think he was taking about 50-100ml 5 times a day but I found he drank more and was sucking a lot better when I cut down feeds and hunger was kicking in. He really improved when we went from 4 to 3 feeds a day. Keep persevering it is worth it in the end!
