Sorry,I didn't read where you live and assumed it was in Britain. Asda is a supermarket,not sure if they are calles supermarkets where you live. Basically somewhere you can but all your food,claening products and household goods.
Shouls have said she,not he.
I meant she could be ready for a double feed,but if you're unsure about it then to leave double feeding for a couple of weeks and see how big the bulge is then.
I think they lift their bodies up to help the food slide down,both mine do it.

I just meant if you weren't sure about whether you thought she was ready for two pinkies. I was really nervous on Lokis first double feed. He was fine though.

I am not nervous about it. But doublefeeding is like: when she has taken the pinky and almost eaten it, then i put the other pinkies head in his mouth so she eats both?

Just give her her first pinky as normal,then once the first pinkie has reached about halfway down her body offer her another.
Don't put the second pinkie in her mouth,just offer her it and if she's interested she'll take it.
When I double fed Loki I waited till the first one was halfway down and then put the second pinkie in his tub with him and he found it and started to eat it.
