Did you buy the little bottles when you bought the formula? Warm the milk like you would a baby's formula. Make sure the hole in the bottle is big enough for the milk to come out. They are not going to eat very much at first. Just give them what they want. If they do not want to take the bottle you may have to feed them with a dropper.After they eat, you need to wipe their little bottoms with a warm washcloth to help them go to the bathroom. Good luck with those babies. Oh, they should be fed about every 2 hours. Caring for puppies and kittens are about the same. Did you buy the little bottles when you bought the formula?

Just be sure she is undisturbed and the cage is not in any cool drafts. She should have plenty of fresh water and food. Grapes and bits of melon are good for nursing hamsters. Boiled egg is a wonderful food for the mother now and for her and the babies when they start moving around and nibbling at food. It will help them grow and wean faster. I have noticed a significant size difference and difference in how fast litters wean when I use egg and when I don't. Good luck finding 11 new homes! They will start fighting between 3 and 4 weeks, and it gets really severe after that 4th week.

Don't be kissing all over baby's hands and face. Consider breastfeeding so baby gets antibodies to whatever you have.....it's not too late to try. Wash your hands a lot.

You could also buy an ovulation test from the store and test if you are ovulating. Also, talk to your doctor when you guys are ready to start trying and they could give you tips on conceiving and early prenatal care. When you guys try I would suggest you take plenty of folic acid. Folic acid helps to prevent birth defects. Make sure you have plenty of folic acid when you conceive and the first few weeks. Good Luck!!

Sleep when baby sleeps. I wish I would've listened to that. It is a life saver! #2. Remember that your baby does need you for comfort and soothing. When they cry, make sure to rule out the normal things like hunger, diaper change, etc... but if that isn't it, rock and sing to your baby. It's very soothing and if you start early, it will continue to work for you. #3. Remember that every mommy makes mistakes. Learning from those mistakes is what is important. Congrats and good luck :) #1. Sleep when baby sleeps. I wish I would've listened to that. It is a life saver!

If you do breastfeed and cosleep, nightfeeding's become infinitely easier (just lay baby next to breast, help them latch on, and go back to sleep), and you'll get way more sleep yourself. when friends/family come over to help, don't give them the baby to play with so you can clean, shop, do laundry. Let them do the chores and give you some fun relaxing baby time (unless baby is screaming or you need a nap and a shower, then by all means, pass the baby off) Never turn down an offer to help, you'd be surprised how much even 15 minutes of someone watching baby so you can eat your lunch in peace or take a shower or a walk will help revitatlize you. The first weeks are the scariest, but you'll figure out your baby and get into a rythym soon enough, in 6 weeks you're going to be an old pro. Enjoy your baby, they grow up so fast and you're going to miss the tiny newborn stage, even if you are exhausted. Take lots of pictures, take baths with baby or go on walks together.
