Are you weighing them? I find that's the best way to judge whether they are growing or not. From what I have observed with mine they seem to grow through growth spurts, not growing for a while then suddenly shooting away.

is he not growing or is he looking underweight ?

what foods have you tried him on ?

have you seen him eating at all ?

i spoon feed my babies a little every week just so i can see them at least take a little in , remember that they dont need to eat a great deal . .

i would get a banana and chop it up mix it with water till its quite liquidy and try hand feeding .

i use a little plastic water dropper to feed them but a spoon to there lips should get them licking . put a little drop on the nose so they lick it off .

can add some CGD to the mixture if you have any or a little calcium
