Please help.
CallaLily, you were not fully registered when you tried to post a picture, please try again so we can help you assess this baby's age.
Regardless, this baby is going to need formula! Due to product change causing issues with Esbilac we are no longer recommending it.
Instead we recommend temporary using the home made Goat's formula and then transitioning to Fox Valley 20/50 that has to be
ordered on line. (or by phone) Links to both are provided below...
