WreckitWhippet Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 That might just enable someone who has the misfortune of needing to hand raise, to get a little bit of extra sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwaY Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I have looked into these, the feedback I have received from people who has used similar is it was hard to keep the temp of the bottles right, puppies would gulp the milk and choke causing aspirated pneumonia and the angle was all wrong.

Kustali Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 They're Mastiff puppies that are feeding, so BIG babies, not sure how it's go with littler bubs. They use the Dr Browns teats which are very good, i hand fed my singleton using those types of teats and they work great, no choking, aspiration etc. What were the people using that you talked with? I can see these working better than anything else i've seen out there and with 3 keeping the temp of the bottles right would be quite easy. When you're having to hand feed so many babies it could be a life saver! especially you're own sanity! I hand fed 11 with a different type of bottle/teat and it was not good, but i know the Dr Browns are good, i wish i had this back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 You can buy them here http://www.pupnursing.com/Product.html The part that holds the bottle is from caulking guns you buy at Bunnings. Here is another version http://www.worldmastiffforum.com/post?id=4782465 Sadly my computer died last week so I have lost all my links and pictures as I had heaps more designs.

SwaY Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I have spoken (emailed) with over 50 people who have used some form of feeding station - toys to giants and they all seem to have the same problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilaryo Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 I have spoken (emailed) with over 50 people who have used some form of feeding station - toys to giants and they all seem to have the same problems. Were you thinking of supplying them if they work well Sway? For big litters in particular I would have thought they would be a life saver providing the problems get fixed.

SwaY Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 It was something I looked into stocking, but have not done so yet because of the problems. Those with large litters I know tube feed as it's much quicker, 1-2min per pup when tube fed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espinay2 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Basically a similar type of thing to a lamb or calf feeding station used for feeding poddy lambs/calves. Certainly saves time when feeding multiples of them! This is the first time I have seen them for pups though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Some of the other designs I have seen are slots made out of cardboard and the bottles are all placed in there others bottle are held in place via wooden boxes, another simple design was bottles rolled in towels and all lined up.
