Above is our bottle feeding schedule we use. We like to slowly transition the kids onto the bottle around 3-4 weeks, that way they have a healthy start (being dam-raised) and they get the extra milk when they need it (when we transition them to bottles). However, you can pull them from the dam at birth and bottle feed them from the very start (we have done this before if the dam rejects them or they need the extra attention)
