I just wanted to update on my 2 babies they seem much better and have pooped some and peed to after giving them pedialyte and now they are on the esbilac so im hopeful at least for now they seem to want their milk sometimes every 3 hours instead of waiting four so can someone tell me if i should just make them wait or am i not feeding them enough every 4? i give them 3ccs each feeding also they have full fur and tails are very gray furry and they have top and bottom teeth maybe they are not 4 weeks but 5?They are rather small though and i dont see how they could take more than the 3ccs at a time also their eyes are not open but their ears are opening.Thanks for any advise.The girl is smaller than the boy and her name is Lillybell boys name is Andy.

At their age they could easily be taking 6ccs at a time. I would definitely increase their feedings. The proper way to get an answer to this question, however, is to weigh them on a gram scale. You should be feeding them at least 5-7% of their body weight each time.
