Feeding several puppies at the same time can be a challenge, especially for amateur or professional breeders who want to ensure optimal nutrition for each puppy. The Nourrinou Bibi brand offers practical and effective solutions to help you in this task. Here are some tips for nursing multiple puppies simultaneously.
Preparation, Organization and Feeding Techniques.
The key to feeding several puppies at once lies in good preparation and organization. Here are some methods to make this task easier:
If you want to feed several puppies at the same time, you must have a multi-nipple bottle.
- Choice of feeding station: Opt for maximal quality on the nipples, such as those from the Nourrinou Bibi brand, which are available in different sizes and flow rates. Choose pacifiers adapted to the size and age of your puppies to ensure that they can nurse easily and safely, for this you can refer to the list of dog breeds, to find the most popular feeding station by breeders of your breed.
- Warm the teats: while you prepare the milk, place the nursing station in hot water to warm the silicone, the puppies will like the touch of the warm teats and the milk will stay warm longer.
- Place the puppies: present the puppies one by one in front of feeding station, you can put a little milk on the edge of the teat for example, to attract it, once the first puppy is attached, move on to the next one.
- Simultaneous Feeding: You can feed up to 4 puppies simultaneously, know that the puppy will naturally stop sucking when it is full, for those who need to be reassured it is possible to weigh the puppy before and after feeding, to find out how much he drank.
- Continuous Monitoring: Watch each puppy carefully to make sure they are feeding properly. Make sure the nipples are not clogged and that the milk flow is adequate.
- Stabilize and raise the bottle: to stabilize and raise the bottle, we advise you to use the support adapted to your feeding station, this will allow you to evolve your feeding station with the growth of the puppies and to keep the hands free.
Feeding several puppies at the same time requires organization, patience and the right tools. The younger the puppy, the easier it will be for him to accept silicone teats, the bigger they are the more difficult they will be, but generally hunger wins and gets the better of the most refractory. The first feedings are the most difficult, keep patience and persevere; soon they will be crawling on their own to reach their bottle.
By preparing your equipment well and following the right techniques, you can ensure correct and simultaneous feeding for all your puppies. Quality products, like those from the Nourrinou Bibi brand, can greatly facilitate this task by offering suitable, reliable and quality nipples and feeding stations.
By following these tips, you can make feeding puppies easier and more effective, ensuring their healthy growth and well-being. Remember to always supervise puppies while they are nursing to avoid risks and ensure their safety. With proper preparation and the right tools, feeding multiple puppies at once becomes a manageable and successful task.
Hygiene and maintenance
Hygiene is crucial to prevent infections and ensure the health of puppies. After each feeding session, clean and sterilize teats and bottles.
- Cleaning: we recommend hand washing, wash the station feeding in hot water and preferably perfume-free dishwashing liquid. For optimal cleaning, it is important to clean the conduit of each nipple and inject hot water using a needle-free syringe provided with the multi-teat bottle.
- Sterilization: Sterilize the nursing station by boiling it for 5 minutes. This method eliminates bacteria and ensures optimal hygiene. Repeat this operation as many times as necessary.
