How much formula (goats milk-esbilic) should you feed a 24 hour old newborn?
I have heard 1/2 cc every two hours and
4cc's every 3 hours. There are alot of conflicting information and I really need to know the proper dosage to ensure the baby grows.

The weight on him is 3 7/8 oz. today, which is down from 4.5 oz when born.

Thank you!!!

I can't give you an exact amount except to say that the puppy's stomach will feel full when he gets enough and he should be fed at least every two hours at this stage. Secondly the body temperature must be regulated for him since he can't do that for himself yet. Is mommy not feeding?
