Question Regarding CGD..

jusmebabe May 14, 2004 08:49 PM

I just received a pair of baby cresteds this afternoon (Dragons Den)and had a question on how to mix the CGD.
It says mix 2 parts water with 1 part CGD. If feeding 2 babies how much pf each meaning grams? I am bad with numbers so be nice lol.
Thanx for any info..

Don't worry about the wieght, it is by volume. For two babies try mixing 1 tsp. of powder with 2 tsp. water. You could always go with a larger mix like 1 tablespoon powder and 2 water, then freeze what you don't use.
good luck

Just to add to the post above. When I first started using this stuff, I had a hard time believing the mixing directions. It'll be really, really watery when you first mix it. I always let it set for a good amount of time (30-60 minutes), before I feed it. These guys eat so little, it may be hard to mix small volumes accurately. That's why I mix it, let it set a long time, then I can tell if I need to add a little more water or a little more powder. It should be relatively the same consistency as baby food.
