Types of milk powder for supplementing baby chinnies

Dear all,
wat brands of milk powder have u tried to supplement the bb chins with? How do they differ in terms of which is better or easier for the kits to take in and what else do u add in (e.g gerbers?). When is the age to stop handfeeding the bb as i didn't really handfeed the kits during her first preg.

Pearly

I've found that Goat's milk is the best but goat milk from Hay Dairy works best for me, as compared to other brands of Goats milk as it has no added preservatives. They put on much more weight on the milk from this farm as compared to other brands available at the supermarket.. I don't get much weight increase from formula milk for my chinnies, hence i use goats milk. Order straight from the farm

Ya, I ordered the fresh milk.

You need to order 2L before they deliver and they only deliver on certain days to certain areas, so you have to call and check with them.

Their number is 67920931.

They also have a website which you can check for more info:
http://www.haydairies.com.sg/

The only difficulty I faced is that
1. They deliver only in the day
2. Since there is a minimum order, and my chins only drink one 250ml bottle a week, I have to drink all the rest before it spoils...And it takes a while to get used to the taste..LOL

That's why I am still getting the powder form instead of the fresh ones.
