I have the o ring syringes ordered and they are on their way with nurser nipples but until then I have Walmart pharmacy 1cc syringes. I didn't realize I was out of new ones. The ones I have are sticking and I only fed a half cc at a time bc I was scared of aspiration. Any tricks to get a little more life out of them. I just need one more feeding out of them.

A little olive oil on the stopper will help it move through the syringe better.

use mineral oil or cooking oil to make it slippery...you may have to repeat each feeding until you get the right syringes [qtd Jackie in Tampa]
