You can point the tip of the syringe up toward the roof of his mouth more.
This way he can't aspirate so easily.
You look like a pro here! :w00t
We have a link somewhere that I will post showing the
correct position. I will post it once I find it.

Edit: Here you go.

Thanks so much!! Also, is she still young enough that I need to stimulate her to use the bathroom after eating? Or she doesn't need my help with that anymore? As u can see in the pic, her eye is swollen shut 😔

You know, they can go on their own, but I stimulate as long as they allow it,
because it makes for a cleaner container. Sometimes they can pee like a race horse,
and I would rather they do that off of the fleece in the container :)

Also, I would recommend feeding on a table or floor so if he gets away from you he doesn't have far to fall. He sure is a cutie and yes you are doing great! You even have the sweaty forehead that I have every single time I feed tiny babies. :gigg

Ok, thank u 😊 I am hoping her eye opens up again soon-- I feel so bad for her every time I see her eye like that...
