Together we have made a great team and my babies are doing great. They are about 6 weeks old now. Currently they are on esbilac puppy powder formula mixed with 35% lactose free whipping cream and vanilla yogurt as recommended by experts. I have found some research that says fox valley formula is better for them. I am wondering if I should order some and switch the formula gradually or continue feeding the esbilac until they no longer need formula? They are also being fed every 5 hours. 2, 7, 12, 17, 22. They were drinking at least 5% of their body weight with each feed but in the last two days they seem to have slowed down eating at the 22 and 7 o'clock feeds. I am wondering if maybe I should start feedings them 4 times a day instead of 5 now that they are older and getting more chubby.
