Hey Karon,
The bottle, Kat suggested, is working fine but just for information sake, in case, I would not have this bottle...how do you keep the nipple on the syringe... I have a 12 mi. syringe and the little tiny nipples I have from the farm store pet bottles, fits right on the end of it but wont they just pull off the first time a puppy sucks on it...even though that the nipple fits securely stretched over the end of the syringe...I can't put the bottle ring cap on to hold the nipple in place cause it does not have anything to screw onto...
What do you use to keep the nipple on the end of the syringe?
