Hi Bobbi, Being a newbie myself, I can surely relate to your anxieties. I suggest you go back to GoatWorld's Home Page, click on Knowledge Base (It's off to the right), and then go to bottles and read all the old posts from previously asked questions on bottle feeding. There is alot of info. there that is sure to help. The amount to feed seems to be based on the type of goat you have, but it also seems that when the little babe is full, it will stop nursing. Vicki (who is a wealth of knowledge) I believe recommends just feeding cows milk from the grocery store-warmed to (if I remember correctly) 102 degrees. Maybe she will see your cries for help, and give you her advise. Good luck. -Mary
