I am hand feeding my Quaker and she doesn't have a feeding response. She also doesn't like me steadying her head, so I just let her take the tip of the syringe, and I fill her mouth. Kind of like what someone else described. It works great for us!
At three weeks she never had a feeding response. Her breeder used to shoot the formula into the back of her mouth, which I would never do.
Also because she doesn't like me to hold her head, the formula gets all over her face, aha. But all because there is no feeding response doesn't mean there is some wrong handling, or the baby is uncomfortable.
