@katrina2017 As long as he’s fed and happy I’ll quit worrying about his feeds taking a little longer. The next size up can probably wait. Thanks!

@brethrenfund1 I think that’s probably the best solution right now - he is usually fine at the start of his feed but then chokes closer to the end when he’s tired. I’ll give it a try!
