Welcome to the board & Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!

We dam raise with the exception of 1 bottle baby so I'll leave that up to others more experienced. The important part to remember is they are always hungry, so overfeeding should be avoided. The 1 bottle baby we raised was on whole cows milk with added buttermilk. No issues with scouring.
